The Grumpy Vegan wonders if the campaign against fur is becoming more like the war against drugs: a lost cause.
According to Gallup’s annual “moral acceptability” measure, updated in May, Americans have inched to the right on a handful of the 15 issues rated, including divorce, use of animal fur in clothing [up from 54% to 61% in one year], gambling, and embryonic stem-cell research. Public opinion about the moral acceptability of the other items is essentially unchanged, with no significant increases in support for traditionally liberal positions.
