1/So here's a thing that makes me really mad.

California is about to vote to ban animal fur.

BUT, two Assembly members, Marc Levine and Laura Friedman, are trying to make an exemption for rabbit fur.

2/If you live in California, and you'd like to help stop the Assembly from making rabbits the ONLY animal that can be raised and killed for fur in the state of California, please give Marc Levine or Laura Friedman a call and let them know.

Their contact info is...

3/Marc Levine: website: a10.asmdc.org. Legislative director Kurt Schupara: email: [e-mail]. Phone: [phone]

Laura Friedman: website: a43.asmdc.org. Legislative director Jim Metropulos: email: [e-mail]. Phone: [phone]

4/It would be shameful to ban every other kind of fur but allow rabbits to be raised and killed for fur just because some lobbyists demanded it.

So if you care about that, please give Levine and/or Friedman a call or email.

5/Oh, and actually, as @daguilarcanabal has pointed out, the best strategy is probably to contact your own representative and ask them to oppose the exception for rabbit fur.

You can find your representative here: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov

6/Oh, and here's a video of the discussion where Levine requested an exemption for rabbit fur. It's at 1h 54m 12s.

7/And here's a screenshot of the Facebook post where I got the info.

8/Anyway, if you want to help stop California legislators from letting agribusiness raise bunnies for fur, call your California representative and let them know!

Sorry to interrupt your evening.
