Los Angeles Has Banned the Sale of Fur
Following San Francisco, Los Angeles has become the largest city in the United States to ban the sale of fur. As voted by the Los Angeles city council, the ban will include everything from coats, handbags and shoes. The sale of faux fur is still permitted however any items partially or fully made from fur are no longer permitted to be sold within the parameters of LA. The new laws will come into effect 24 months after the final language has been passed.
City councilmember, Bob Blumenfield said, “It’s 2018 — there’s no excuse for being complicit in this inhumane and unnecessary trade. We will continue to be a leader in animal welfare efforts and must work with other cities and states until this vile practice is ended across our nation.” Animal rights activities have long had a strong presence in LA and the ban has received positive reactions.

Diesel Receives Backlash For Featuring Nicki Minaj in Anti-Bullying Campaign
Diesel has dropped an anti-cyberbullying campaign to go along with its Autumn/Winter 2018 line. Nicki Minaj stars in the ‘Hate Couture’ campaign alongside Gucci Mane, actors Bella Thorne, Tommy Dorfman and Yoo Ah-in, and model Jonathan Bellini. The campaign saw celebrities wearing shirts donning the most hateful messages they have received online. Sporting a shirt that reads “the bad guy,” Nicki Minaj has been called out on Twitter for being an inappropriate addition to the anti-bullying campaign.
The rapper has been at the centre of numerous conflicts. She infamously insulted Wanna Thompson, who commented on her music earlier this summer. She has also been known to encourage her fans to attack her critics over Twitter. People are calling the campaign tone deaf and claiming it makes a mockery of cyberbullying. However, Diesel responded to the backlash, stating, “We’re here to support anyone who’s getting hated on, and Nicki is one of them.” All proceeds raised from the limited-edition pieces will reportedly be donated to anti-bullying programs at its OTB foundation, a not-for-profit organization.
