Fur Tyrants A California organization parading under the lofty name Beverly Hills Consumers for Informed Choice successfully gathered enough petition signatures to force the Beverly Hills City Council into holding a special election on May 11 th . Among the celebrities who signed the petition were Jack Lemmon, Jay Leno, Vidal Sasoon, Pat Boone and Sid Caesar. The Beverly Hills Consumers for Informed Choice, a more respectable front for radical animal rights groups, has no intention of settling for fur warning labels. Their ultimate goal is the complete outlawing of fur manufacture and sales. First, let's analyze the strategy of tyrants.
Tyrants never reveal their true agenda up front.
They always start off with something relatively benign and sometimes quite reasonable. Then they incrementally become more oppressive. The tactics of the cigarette Nazis are an excellent example of their methods. Like the Beverly Hills Consumers for Informed Choice, cigarette Nazis started out demanding laws requiring cigarette manufacturers to put warning labels on their product. Emboldened by that success they successfully demanded no-smoking sections on airplanes.
