Switzerland bans trade of commercial seal products, including furs

London - One day after designer Stella McCartney questioned the fashion industry continued use of leather and fur, as imitation skins "looks so good" they "genuinely pose a question to the industry about why anyone needs to use leather any more" at Paris Fashion Week, comes news of Switzerland's decision to ban the trade of seal products. This includes banning seal furs, for which marine mammals as young as 12 days are primarily slaughtered for.
