Obama Signs Truth In Fur Labeling Act
Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 21st, 2010 in Animal Issues, Fur, Politicians.
December is proving to be nothing but “lame” on Capitol Hill, especially when it comes to animal welfare laws.
Just days after banning crush videos, President Obama has signed the Truth in Fur Labeling Act (H.R. 2480), which made its final route through Congress in the Senate earlier this month.
The new law closes the loophole in an already existing law that allows real fur to go unlabelled as such if the garment is worth $150 or less.
