Saturday morning, Newsom said,"California is a leader when it comes to animal welfare and today that leadership includes banning the sale of fur. But we are doing more than that. We are making a statement to the world that beautiful wild animals like bears and tigers have no place on trapeze wires or jumping through flames. Just YouTube the videos showing the cruel way these animals—often stripped from their mothers as babies—are trained to do dangerous tricks. It's deeply disturbing.
Besides killing the fur trade, the legislation outlaws the use of animals in circus performances and will make it illegal to hunt and kill bobcats. California state Senator Ben Hueso stated,"This is a historic day for California, as we join the growing number of states and localities stepping up to implement similar bans on cruel circuses. I'm very proud of the work we've accomplished to close the curtain on circuses in our state that exploit these beautiful creatures."
The law makes exceptions for fur used for religious purposes, taxidermy, licensed hunting, and some products, such as leather. The bill also protects wild and domestic horses and bans the trade and import of various types of dead reptiles.PRAKASH SINGH/AFP/Getty

This won’t stop the sale of furs... it will only close businesses in California. People will still crap in the streets and live in tents.
I believe heaven would be more lenient to Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than the state of 'Californication'. Its time to flee this godless state the same way Lot and his family fled SodomandGomorrah. Maranatha
No. We need to get away from synthetic fibers that are killing us all with microplastics. What do you think polar fleece is? We must get back to using natural fibers.
