Use of rabbit fur may become illegal in UK

Recommended Posts

I may be adding 2 + 2 to get 5 but please bear with me

1. In the UK it is currently illegal to raise rabbits just for their fur

1a. it is currently illegal to import furs from places which raised the animal for its fur, including as per # 2

2. In the UK rabbit fur is currently obtained as a side product of rabbits raised for meat

3. the last rabbit meat farms in Britain are closing down now (due to pressure by 'Animal Rights' groups)

4. the UK Gov is about to outlaw rabbit farms, even for meat  (due to pressure by 'Animal Rights' groups)

5. if you/we/me cannot get rabbit fur from a local source, nor be able to import it legally, then it has, de facto, become illegal to use it

(old rabbit fur is not any good)

This is the same UK that wanted to outlaw paperclips in the workplace (dangerous) and kitchen knives with points....Right?

I haven't heard of those uns, but that would be typical of the UK Gov though

They did try to ban people in offices using the words 'black' and 'white' in case people took offence
