HB 1775 Prohibiting the production of fur products

This Bill is back. Seen a similarly worded Bill for the last 4 years. It would ban fur farms and fur production (manufacture of any fur product). Even has some onerous record keeping requirements for the use of used fur products. Of course anything made out of leather is OK. :dunno:

Just dropped today. Sent to the Committee on Consumer Protection and Business

Here is the page where you can see the members the Committee
https://leg.wa.gov/about-the-legislature/committees/house-of-representatives/cpb/

You can call or click on their District which allows you to click on their name and takes you to a page where you can leave them a written message. Confusing? If I can figure it out, you can.

I'll come up with some talking points and a better link to leave a message in a day or two.

You have hunters in this State who actually vote for these "ussies".  Be sure to thank them. :bash:

Bill has been referred to House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources. Gets it away from Consumer Protection and Business. Walen is the prime sponsor, and also the Chair of Consumer Protection and Business so I see that as a good change.

HB 1775 has been introduced, a Bill to ban fur production in WA. It would make it illegal to manufacture any fur products in WA with an exception for used fur garments being remanufactured. It also bans fur farms in WA. This would put out of business any of our local crafters that utilize our furs. Please take the time to ask your Legislators to oppose this Bill. Here’s an easy link to send a comment to your Legislator:
 https://app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1775
Also, here are links to Members of The House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources. This is the Committee that this Bill has been referred to. Please ask the Committee members to oppose and hopefully it might die in Committee. Keep it simple and respectful.
Talking points: Hurts small business, sends business out of State, Culturally insensitive to Trappers, Native Americans, Mountain Man enthusiasts, reenactors, Why is fur bad but not leather? Why should the State be deciding a business is not worthy of existence because it is a small part of the economy?, Furs are natural unlike synthetics that never break down.,

Here is a letter I wrote for example not necessarily to copy. Better to write your own but use it if you have to.
Please oppose HB 1775. This Bill targets the Community of fur users (Native Americans, trappers Mountain Man enthusiasts and reenactors and the businesses that support them. Yes, Native Americans even though the Bill tries to exempt them. If a small business loses half its customers, it won’t be there for Native Americans either. Why should the State be in the business of choosing which businesses are worthy based on their size which is what this Bill purports to do? Fur is bad but leather OK. That logic escapes me.

Can't your fur identify as leather?  That's what it's attached to and requires treatments to stay attached.

If you haven't figured it out yet, EVERY bill being introduced by the D's has only one goal, close business's down, especially any Ma and Pa business.  They haven't "lost their minds" they didn't have one to begin with!  LIV's are the only reason they got elected!

Any bets these clowns don't know what "lined" all the WWII bomber clothes??  And what "really" works in cold/wet weather!

All democrats are anti-man. They want compliant wimps who are no threat to their goal of Marxist nirvana.
