Brazil - Sao Paulo

Israeli Member of Knesset; Dov Khenin and IAFC- Join Global Voice to Honor Mayor of Sao Paulo

Mayor Mr. Fernando Haddad of Sao Paulo, Brazil is being honored worldwide and held in the highest global esteem for his approval of the ethical double bill to ban the barbaric fur trade and foie gras.The honored city leader received among his many global congratulatory letters, letters from

Dov Khenin;Member of the Israeli Knesset, who is about to present Israel’s bill to ban the sale of fur to their government once again and from The International Anti-Fur Coalition (IAFC), who are leading the Anti-Fur bill initiatives, in Israel. Both letters mentioned deep gratitude and appreciation for the mayor on his foresight and empathy.It has come to light that of the four times the past Israeli governments had failed to pass those ethical bills to ban the sale of fur, a like bill would be voted into law in another global location; Hence, making it evident, that the exposure of the brutal facts, previously hidden by the fur trade, is the beginning of the end of this shameful industry.

Timeline of the anti-fur bills in Israel being help up: followed by similar bills being voted in worldwide:

* 2009: Former MK Nitzan Horowitz/ Israel failed to vote in the bill — 2010: Dublin/ Ireland Bill Passed

* 2010: Former MK Ronit Tirosh/ Israel failed to vote in the bill — 2010: Fingal/ Ireland Bill Passed

* 2012: Former  MK Ronit Tirosh/ Israel failed to vote in the bill —  2013: West Hollywood/ USA Bill Passed

* 2013: Former MK Ruth Kalderon / Israel failed to vote in the bill— 2015: Sao Paulo/ Brazil Bill Passed

Global media and the public have hopeful anticipation that the time has finally come for Israel to vote in their bill too.

Nothing is stronger than an idea whose time has come.”

This is why moral justice will win. The fur industry; One of the cruelest in the world is becoming illegal (slowly but surely) in Cities/ States & Countries.

Most recently: SAO PAULO/ BRAZIL (a city of over 16 million people!) has just become the next city in the world to ban the sales of fur and go fur free! Fur Farms have been outlawed recently, there & Now the whole fur industry became illegal. “International Anti- Fur Coalition” sent an official letter of appreciation to the Mayor of Sao Paulo, Mr. Fernando Haddad, congratulating him for his remarkable, compassionate and ethical decision to spread light. Cheers to selflessness!
