Chinese paramilitary soldiers patrol a commercial district known for the sale of animal fur items in Beijing, China Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2006. The European Union proposed a ban Monday on the sale and import of dog and cat fur in all 25 member nations, saying it has been found in some clothing, toys and other items on sale in Europe.
