Cat lovers petition to ban cat fur production
A petition has been launched to ban the production and sale of cat fur products in Switzerland.

According to campaigners, as quoted by Swissinfo, "In September, October, November and December the hunters and the people who work for the tanners go out and shoot all the feral cats or all cats which are 200 metres away from homes" .

The aim of the petition is to bring Switzerland into line with the EU where the production of cat furs will be outlawed in all member states this year. Currently, Switzerland bans the import of cat furs, but allows domestic production and sale.

The petition can be downloaded in English here from www.soschats.org.
