Card of the International Anti-Vivisection League - Cat Fur

Belgian card produced for the International Anti-Vivisection League - An outcry on the use of Cat Fur for fashionable overcoat linings and the covering of motor parts. The translation of the text is as follows: Most of the vanished cats are stolen for the value of their fur, used to make pelisses (fur-lined overcoats) and blankets for motor cars. Those who buy these items are responsible for the massacre of thousands of cats beloved by their masters. Date: 1929
