California Bans the Sale and Production of Animal Fur Products

Beginning on January 1, the state of California has officially banned the sale and manufacturing of all new animal fur products.

The legislation was sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States and Animal Hope in Legislation.

“The year 2023 marks a historic step forward for California with the implementation of a law that truly represents the values of our constituents,” stated Assemblymember Laura Friedman, who championed the bill.

“Californians do not want to see animals live and die in cruel ways for nothing more than fashion, and I’m so pleased that this law will help uphold our state’s animal welfare standards as well as potentially help drive innovation for more sustainable fashion alternatives.”

According to the Fur Free Alliance over 100 million animals are raised each year for their fur.
