Harvey Levin, who has shared his views against the use of fur in the past, invites Jane on to respond to the rapper Safaree’s actions when he wore a fur coat and screamed at activists at an anti-fur rally. Jane pities the rapper for not being able to see the error of his actions. He has dogs at home that he loves so much but does not realize or care that the dozens of animals that were skinned for his fur coat suffered as much as his companion animals would. He also is dismissive when questioned about how the animals end up being made into a coat. His level of cognitive dissonance is appalling. All he sees a finished fur coat on a rack boutique. Jane explains that many of these animals experience excruciatingly painful traps that leave them trying to bite off limbs to escape, anal or vaginal electrocution, and skinning alive. Jane also compares wearing fur to wearing chastity belts. It’s outdated, cruel, and barbaric. She also says there is nothing cool about wearing something cruel. Hopefully, fur will be banned everywhere soon and people will stop wearing the suffering of dozens of animals unnecessarily. Until then, Jane is ready to speak up for the victims of animal torture on TMZ or wherever anyone is listening! Thank you, Harvey and Charles, for having her on the show!

All of these awesome people came out to take a stand against animal torture!

JaneUnchained is LIVE in New York, New York as animal rights history is being! This is a rally and hearing at New York City Hall for the bill to ban the sale of fur in NYC! The rally is led by legendary fashion guru and celebrity host Tim Gunn and attended by hundreds of animal advocates! The hearing will start after the rally.

How Animal-Free Fashion Is Becoming The Norm

Dan Matthews, Senior Vice President of PETA, explains that the fur industry is one of the only industries that use animals and isn’t regulated by the government. This makes them outside of the law’s reach. Dan further explains that animals are trapped inhumanely, injected with weed killer, and electrocuted in many cases. Dan also demonstrates how the customary traps, which are banned in over 100 countries, can snap right through small bones. These traps are incredibly cruel and should be banned everywhere along with fur! Tim Gunn briefly extends his gratitude to the protestors for being there, and he expresses his support of the fur ban. Councilmember, Fernando Cabrera, explains the Bill Intl 1476 does not prohibit the wearing of fur purchased previously, or the purchase of vintage fur. It bans the of new fur in New York City. He also explains to make matters worse, the traps used to catch animals for fur, catch all sorts of animals that they weren’t intending to catch. This includes people’s pets and endangered animals. Next, Councilmember, Helen Rosenthal, explains how the fashion industry is following Tim Gunn’s lead by eliminating fur from their lines. We are hopeful that this ban will be put into place soon and that we can have a fur-free world soon so that no animal has to suffer and have their skin put on display senselessly.
