OverDressed for Life

I tip my hat to West Hollywood City Council members who recently passed the nation’s first ban on the sale of new fur apparel.

West Hollywood is a small community of 35,000 people living between Beverly Hills and Hollywood. Lots of upscale stores line the famous Sunset Boulevard and Melrose Place. Many sell fur, but not for much longer. They will have to shed their pelts by September 21, 2013. (By the way, the ban does not apply to the sale of vintage furs.)

Of course there are some unhappy campers who are planning to fight the Council’s decision with a lawsuit. Here’s wishing them nothing but failure. 

Thank you members of the West Hollywood City Council for taking a stand in favor of animal welfare.
