The first comment below the above-linked article has a point in saying "Time to think this through. Either the piggies are our cousins and we don't eat or wear them, or all animals are fair game." The rest of the comment is, of course, arguing that all animals are fair game, but I don't see us sliding back into that paradigm, much as "Johnny" wants us to.
I would like us to think things through, though. An EU-wide ban on the use of cat and dog fur products is certainly heartwarming news, but what of all the other animals caged and killed for such a superfluous luxury? People need to break down the distinctions between animals we see as pets and animals we exploit for food and clothing, and make that moral leap.
