EU moves to ban cat and dog fur

The European Parliament is set to back a ban on cat and dog
fur imports, in a move to reduce the two million cats and
dogs slaughtered in China each year.

MEPs say shoppers buy goods made with the fur unknowingly,
because exporters attach false labels.

It is used in coats, linings for boots and gloves, stuffed toys,
and even homeopathic aids for arthritis.

MEPs have agreed with EU member states on the text of the
law, which will come into effect by December 2008.
