California bans fur

a reply to: Raggedyman

Do people actually vote these lawmakers into office, is stupidity rewarded in the US

Only on the West Coast and N.Y.
The rest of the country , for the most part , is still relatively sane.
(bold by me to emphasize subject)

California should also shut down all zoo's and marine parks.
They may as well, because why stop at stupid.

They can go further than stupid highvein; *ban all living* animals within the state as fur banning could result in the unintended consequence of temptation chaos.

Very true, and we do need to think about the animals first, because they couldn't survive without us.

We need to just follow this to its logical conclusion.

Man-made global warming is killing California.

Man-made homelessness doesn't help...

Man-made trash and plastics are killing the environment in California.

People building houses in pristine wilderness environments are killing California.

People driving in, flying into and eating in California are killing the environment.

So just ban people in California.

It reverts back to nature without all those human killing machines living there.

Problem solved!

Nothing but the Truth.

yuppa:
Actually alot of zoos breed the animals these days.

Phage:The California law does not seem to address that, either way.
Hawaii law doesn't.

Way over California lawmakers heads (the consequences of a lack of hind/foresight).

a reply to: vethumanbeing

Do you think circuses are the same as zoos?

I don't really like zoos, but I do know there is a difference.

They are breeding endangered animals in Zoos because.. (twiddling thumbs). This is so NOT Disney-esq in scope and dreaminess, (Walt's vision of California potentially being the nations first manicured wild animal park) progress intercedes and Yellowstone takes it from here.

Why stop there?
We'd probably be better off without people in North Dakota too.

Good question Phage! Do they charge the same admission fee (parking included)? Circuses are more complicated because those well meaning trainers are experts at TRAINING and DISAPLINING captured innocent Animal Prisoners. Zoo's are more about the safety factor involved in the confinement of innocent captured Animal Prisoners; and the cuteness factor of the stuffed toys sold to buy their feed.

North Dakota (were I do not live) doesn't seem to have all the horrible ecological disasters that California has.

North Dakota (where I work) appears to be an ecological disaster all by itself without human intervention.

However, North Dakota isn't the burning dumpster fire that is California... not financially, not economically, not culturally, not politically.

So people are fine here... they are not the ones passing laws to ban fur while they have to be careful to not step on human feces, drug needles or homeless people while they go to vote to enact the law.

Whataboutism much?

Indeed.

I decided decades ago not to live someplace that you can die because you get stuck outside for a few hours.

Should it end there? How about the Georgia Guidestones?

a reply to: highvein

Anything below the Mason Dixon line is good with me.

*checks latitude of Oahu*

Never mind.

Talk about a survival instinct workout. There are preparations that one has to attend to that will prevent that from occurring.

a reply to: highvein

Sure.

But why? Just so you can live in North Dakota?

Of course it does not apply to politicians plush leather airplane seats with mink pillows & blankets.

Leather is a by product fur generally isn't , fur looks best on the animal it originated on so support this forward thinking move by California.

Synthetic fur is so great for the environment and animals....not

Yea cause animals want to be tortured and caged their entire lives?

Go California. No need to torture animals for f!cking fur. It's just fur for gods sake...

People think that hell is a place where you burn forever in a lake of fire.

They have not had to work in the winter in North Dakota.

But... the money is awesome.

It will allow me to never come here again in a few years.

How about we just sterilize everyone that wasn't born this year. All problems solved!

Coming from a guy that lives on an island that is an active volcano.

I can see why you are sweating that AGW thing...



I live here...

You're wrong.
Yet again.

a reply to: JAGStorm

A loud applause to California. Sorry about that to my nice neighbors.

What if there was an animal ten times bigger than an average human. Then they hold the human in a cage for all of that human's lifetime, only to wear his/her skin afterwards to show social status.
