NY outlaws electrocution

I’d like to say that I’d give a big thumbs up to the Empire State for being the first in the county to outlaw electrocution as an acceptable way of harvesting animals’ fur.
But I can’t believe this was actually allowed in the first place. According to an Associated Press report, People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals is hoping the law, which bans the common practice of electrocuting the animals in their anuses or genitals, will encourage other states to pass similar measures.
Eek! And let me add an “ew” to that for good measure. Just another reason to go faux.
