Well, it does not come out very clearly from the quote you make above,
although the text does indicate the direction of stated concerns.

It was quoted that the US has banned the trade of dog and cat skins, but I
don't believe the trade of other animal skins has been banned. I understand
your statement about dogs and cats having a *closer* relationship with
humans, but they are still just animals. If I have a pet rabbit, which many
people do, I think it would be legal to kill it and sell it's skin/fur. It
just doesn't make since to me.
