Hollywood. For most people, the word conjures up images of marquee lights, red carpets, and fur-clad movie stars. Well, maybe not so frequently fur-clad, anymore, and as of 2 days ago, you can rest assured any holdouts won’t have purchased their shame-y duds in town. The animal kingdom can rest easier, too, since the ban barring the sale, distribution, barter, import or export of any fur product within city limits remains in effect for 2 years. A long time in coming, the ban was legislated into law in November of 2011, and includes all apparel, but not accessories, weirdly enough, so while you’ll have to get your Ugghhs elsewhere, (shoulder) bags of wool are still available, but I wouldn’t advise it. Those proud Cally folk view their city as the “Humane Capital of the United States”, a much-deserved honorary title. One of eight California cities to pass an ordinance prohibiting the declawing of cats, they also allow and regulate chicken cages in Hollywood.
To this chicken, that in itself is worth a gold star on a cyber sidewalk.
Go Holly, Go Holly,
Go Holly, go!
Whichyer bad self…

Who the hell declaws a cat?? The poor buggers need them. That’s like removing the tops of fingers on humans.
grrr…it is. A terrible practice. How could furniture ever be more important than life? I’m guessing that’s the motivation…but anyone who even THINKS this is an option should not be allowed anywhere near animals. Nowhere near.
rahr.
I hadn’t heard about this…two points for CA (though I’m still not a fan of LA)…
H-a-a-a-a-te LA. Do you know, I spend my life not driving through it to see my sister in San Diego? Seriously. I almost always Amtrak it down (cuz those are so much safer) LA drivers rejoice in NOT letting you over on their 6 lane freeways–there are about 4 interchanges for SD through LA–and everyone drives 80 odd miles an hour. If you DON’T–you’re maybe just as dangerous. Too many “what ifs” & far too much faith needed in my fellow drivers abilities…
Let’s just say, me and the LaLa Land don’t merge well either…
Me neither – and I used to do the drive from LA to San Diego and you’re so right…Definitely should have taken the train. Just affirmed that LaLa Land and I don’t share a lot in common.
Get a feel for fur, slam your hand in a car door~!
interesting. I’ll pass…
it along! 😉
