People Who Travel To San Francisco After Wearing Leather Can Remember To Defend Themselves.

In the face of fur, Chinese consumers say that they should not buy, and the body is still very honest.

According to The Associated Press news, in March 21st, the San Francisco house of Representatives unanimously passed the ban on fur sales, which will come into force in January 1, 2019, and retailers in leather selling must empty the existing stock by January 2020.

At present, San Francisco is the third largest and largest Forbidden City in the United States since West Hollywood and Berkeley.

The bill was launched by the Chinese city councilor Katy Tang, who was concerned about animal welfare, and won the unanimous vote of the house of Representatives. It was also supported by Direct Action Everywhere, an animal welfare organization.

They hope to tell the fur industry that the act of cruelty to animals to make clothes is not in line with the values of San Francisco.

Katy Tang said in a statement that 50 million animals worldwide were brutally killed every year because of the production of clothing and accessories.

"San Francisco is a city with advanced values. We believe that all living creatures should enjoy the same rights and interests as human beings. It is wrong to continue to tolerate fur trade."

She said.

Jim Lazarus Lazarus, senior vice president of public policy at the San Francisco chamber of Commerce, said that after the promulgation of the act, 50 local clothing and accessories retailers and some shopping areas will be affected.

According to the San Francisco chamber of Commerce, the annual sales of fur in San Francisco is at least 40 million dollars.

The ban has been praised by animal protection groups, but it is not all applause.

The CEO Skip Pas of the West Coast leather company said whether the bill should be passed by the public should not be decided by the board of supervisors voluntarily.

Western Hollywood also faced criticism when implementing the bill. At that time, George H. King, a US magistrate, pointed out that although fur trading was prohibited, antique and second-hand fur could still be sold through shops, pawnshops, second-hand stores and non-profit organizations that were not fur and fur clothing, and fur articles could also be sold.

These two loopholes exist in the laws of San Francisco.

The western Hollywood passed the ban in 2011, when it was the first city in the us to ban fur trade.

The city has been a pioneer in the protection of animals in the United States. It is also the first city to ban cat claw, and has issued a law prohibiting pet shops from selling cats and dogs.

At that time, John D'Amico, the founder of the fur ban, said: "the West Hollywood city is a small city, but it is very representative.

I think the influence of the decree will spread from this small city to New York's Fifth Avenue, thus affecting the whole country.

People will rethink the significance of prohibiting fur regulations. "

He proved that his prediction was right.

In 2017, Berkeley also announced the adoption of a law prohibiting fur trade.

Many countries in the world have gradually eliminated animal fur farms. For example, the United Kingdom issued a series of ban on fur farms between 2000 and 2002, followed by Australia. In 2004, the ban on animal farms and the largest fur producing area in Europe issued a ban in 2012. Plans to close all mink farms before 2024, while Norway announced that it would close the fox and mink farms in Holland before 2025.

Some luxury brands have also joined the "anti fur army" consciously. The newest comrades in arms are Versace and Furla.

Previously, there were Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, Hilfiger, Michael, Hilfiger, Michael, retailer, electricity supplier, etc.

It's not easy for a luxury brand to abandon its fur at risk of influencing its performance. Michael Kors and animal protection groups have been entangled in this problem for many years.

But because consumers are paying more and more attention to the social moral responsibility of enterprises, brands are turning around and unwilling to let fur affect their image.

Michael Kors CEO John Idol once said: "with the innovation of fabric technology, we have the ability to develop materials that are not animal fur. The senses and touch of these materials are all different from animal fur."

Therefore, the technology of coding is usually another topic that goes away with fur.

With the efforts of the brand and the government, the Western fur market has declined since 2012.

In contrast, the Chinese market is still growing.

According to the International Fur Trade Association (IFF), the total retail sales of leather in China in 2015 amounted to $16 billion 900 million, compared with sales of several major fur markets, including Germany, Russia and the United States, which did not exceed $1 billion 500 million.

More than 95% of the world's largest fur auction houses, which are exported by Copenhagen fur company, are exported to Asia, especially China.

At the same time, China is also a major customer of most large fur factories in Denmark.
