But that's how democratic decision-making works, you know? When the majority considers something sufficiently abhorrent, it gets banned.

Do you, by the same logic, think we shouldn't have banned ivory imports?

(Speaking personally as a long-time vegetarian and sometime campaigner against inhumane live animal exports *from* the UK, I am very pleased to see the decision made with regard to seal products.)
