The Denver Post: Denver Initiated Ordinance 308 is a fur ban that would affect some hat makers, other businesses

Unlike some other cities that have enacted fur bans, Denver’s proposed ban encompasses more than just furs. According to the language in the submitted petition, “fur means any animal skin or part thereof of hair, fleece or fur fibers attached thereto, either in its raw or processed state; or such hair fleece, or fur fibers detached from any animal skin and re-attached to another material.”
Under this language, the measure also would ban sales of cowboy hats if they’re made of beaver, rabbit or hare hides, and it also could ban certain fly-fishing flies if they include animal fibers.
