I don't agree with much that the EU does but I'm fully behind this:
A plan for a Europe-wide ban on all trade in cat and dog fur falsely labeled as synthetic and used in clothing, personal accessories and soft toys for children was announced by the European Commission.Markos Kyprianou, the commission’s consumer protection commissioner, said Europeans were shocked by “images of cats and dogs being kept in cages and slaughtered in cruel and shocking conditions for their fur.” An investigation by the animal-rights group Humane Society International showed that dog and cat fur production had taken place in the Czech Republic and other Eastern European countries. China is said to be the main producer, with an estimated 5,400 cats and dogs killed there each day.
