It’s a pity that because of some stupid traditions there’s no opportunity to save fur. It shouldn’t be like that because the life of an animal is more important than the appearance of some official. Save fur and make this planet better!

They should have asked Haredim and Palestinians once again about their opinion and if they’re not persuaded, follow their wise piece of advice.
