Paul McCartney Supports Israel Fur Ban

Paul McCartney is voicing his support for a fur ban in Israel.
A bill proposed by the animal rights group Let The Animals Live, is asking Israel to be the first country to ban the sale, import and export of any kind of fur.
“I, along with members of my family, have been long-standing opponents of the commercial fur trade,” Paul said. “The reason for this is simple — fur is cruel and unnecessary . . . To skin an animal alive — as many are — for a product nobody needs is beyond comprehension.”
“By banning such a cruel industry, Israel would provide a shining example in care and compassion that others would be sure to follow,” he added.
PETA took a poll with the International Anti-Fur Coalition and found that almost 80% of Israelis disagreed with wearing fur for fashion.
However, Heeb magazine has offered its satirical take on this.
The website features pictures of Jewish men wearing fur hats with captions such as “Nothing is more comfortable than wearing my fur hat in Jerusalem. In summer” and “An animal may have died, but my giant head feels super holy as well as “This thick layer of animal hair protects the deep Talmudic thoughts in my brain.”
Heeb questions whether Hasidic Jews are ready to give up their fur hats.
As long as there is faux…it can happen!
