Pelslobbyen har arbejdet intensivt og lykkedes i at få landets minister for religion til at udsætte afstemningen om indførsel af et forbud mod pels. Et forbud, der har massiv opbakning i Israel og resten af verden.

Du kan hjælpe ved at skrive til Israels minister for religion Yakow Margi i Israels parlament Knesset og bede ham støtte den vigtige og medfølende lovgivning, som er fremsat. Bed ham om ikke at lade sig overtale af argumenter fra den moralsk korrupte pelsindustri.

Skriv en e-mail i dag, så minister Margi kan se, at vedens øjne hviler på Israel. Han skal føle den store verdensomspændende støtte, der er til at gennemføre loven, der vil kunne redde tusinder af dyr fra et miserabelt liv og en pinefuld død. Alt sammen for et produkt, som ingen har brug for.

Dear Minister Margi

I am watching with great interest the progress of the important and caring legislation to ban the fur trade in Israel introduced by MK Ronit Tirosh.

If this legislation was to become law, Israel would be setting a global precedent that other countries would be sure to follow.

Please do not be swayed by the arguments put forward by the fur trade, which has vested interests in the needless cruelty and suffering of animals for a luxury product that no one needs. The majority of Israeli people support this bill and want to see it become law.

Followers of ultra-orthodox Judaism should support this compassionate bill that complies with the Jewish religion’s stance on “Tzar Baale Lahaim” (empathy and mercy for all creatures) and the requirement of modesty.

Fur used in fashion is a badge of shame and represents terrible suffering.

Animals used by the fur trade suffer horrible deaths; on fur factory farms, after a short and miserable life in conditions that cannot meet their basic welfare needs, they are usually gassed and no check for death is performed before skinning. In the wild they are caught in traps deemed so cruel they are already banned in Israel and the European Union, before being shot, stamped or clubbed to death. All of this suffering for a non-essential fashion item.

Please do the right, humane thing and do not oppose the bill to ban fur trade. Show the rest of the world that Israel is leading the way to end this needless animal suffering.

Sincerely,
