FfFfFfFF 58,117 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Ann Arbor has banned the sale of new furs, a twist for the city in a state in which the fur trade was once vital. The city council unanimously voted Monday evening to become what the Humane Society said is the first city in the Midwest to prohibit the sale of new fur products. "Ann Arbor has now become the Midwest leader in the fight against the fur industry," Molly Tamulevich, Michigan state director for the Humane Society of the United States, said. "It’s clear the people of Ann Arbor care about animals and want nothing to do with fur." There are bills to ban fur sales in five other states, including Rhode Island, Oregon, Connecticut, Hawaii and New York, and a bill introduced in Washington would ban the production of fur, according to the Humane Society.
