The argument that in 2017 we no longer have to kill animals for clothing would also apply to meat. So if if we accept the conclusion that the sale of fur and down should be banned, then we also accept the conclusion that the sale of meat, poultry, eggs, milk, etc., should also be banned. Scott-Reid and the other animal fanatics of course think exactly that. They're just starting with fur and down for tactical PR reasons, as the thin edge of the wedge.
