McCartney campaigns for cat, dog fur ban
Heather Mills McCartney, wife of Paul McCartney, and Rick Wakeman of Yes campaigned Tuesday for a ban on cat and dog fur in the European Union. "It's barbaric that this is going on," McCartney said, holding back tears as she showed a fur coat made from 42 Alsatian puppies. The United States and Australia have bans on the trade, as well as EU member nations Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece and Italy. The campaigners want the ban to be extended to all 25 EU nations. The campaigners claim some two million cats and dogs are killed each year for their fur, mostly in China, and shipped to other parts of the world under false labels or no label at all.
