– Israel creates a precedent by submitting the world’s first nationwide
bill “Prohibiting the Industry of Fur”. Knesset member Nitzan Horowitz proposed
on March, 18th 2009 a bill to prohibit the fur industry in its entirety,
including all importation, production and all sales in Israel; illuminating that his
intention is "not to lend a hand to this cruelty towards animals.”



In light of this bill, Israel
takes a giant leap forward; from having no existing law concerning fur; to
becoming the first nation on the planet to completely protect all fur bearing
animals from the suffering and death inflicted upon millions of animals at the
hands of the fur industry the world over.
