(This is a copy of an email I wrote to a CNN columnist.)
Regarding your support of the banning of fur sales in West Hollywood, CA, may I ask : What did you have for lunch yesterday? For Thanksgiving dinner? Do you ever eat hamburgers, turkey, chicken, steak, duck, bacon, lamb, lobster, shrimp (dear little cuties), etc. Those all come from animals like the ones you don't want to see killed for fashion.
Are you consistent? Do you argue against the killing of animals to eat them as you argue against killing them for their fur. And please don't make the argument that we have to eat to stay alive. We do...but we don't have to eat animals, we can survive quite well and healthily without them.
I do not favor the wanton killing of animals (I don't support keeping them in a zoo for our pleasure and amusement either, I don't support keeping birds in cages) but these are not proper political matters in a free society.
By the by: do you own any leather jackets, shoes, belts, wallets, handbags, pearl earrings or necklaces ?
