West Hollywood moved a step closer to being fur-free Tuesday when the City Council tentatively approved an ordinance that would ban the sale of apparel made of fur, wool and animal hair.
More than 200 people and a Shih Tzu named Zach filled the West Hollywood Park Auditorium even though the first reading of the ordinance wasn't done until 1:15 a.m.
Dozens of people made statements about the proposed ban, and 120 supporters gave their names to be recorded by the council.
The crowd gave a standing ovation to the council after the vote.
"This was very exciting, and it was unanimous by this brave and thoughtful City Council," said Councilmember John D’Amico, who promoted a ban on fur during his election campaign earlier this year.
