text:
The Importation of Plumage (Prohibition) Act, known also as the Plumage Act 1908, is an act of United Kingdom legislation passed in 1921. It had been proposed to the UK Parliament in 1908 as the Plumage Bill and was the subject of determined campaigning by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Large amounts of plumage had been used to decorate women's hats, and a campaign against this "Murderous millinery" had been waged since the 1880s.
