This week, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 44 into law, which will make California the first state in the country to prohibit the sale and manufacture of new fur statewide. The law will go into effect on January 1, 2023 and violators will be fined up to $1,000 and/or serve up to six months in jail. 

本周，加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森（Gavin Newsom）签署众议院法案“AB 44”成为法律，加利福尼亚州由此成为美国第一个全面禁止新毛皮生产和销售的州。该法律将于2023年1月1日生效，违法者可被处以最高1,000美元罚款和/或最多六个月监禁。

In December 2018, California assembly member Laura Friedman introduced AB 44, which is sponsored by The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and supported by organizations In Defense of Animals (IDA), Animal Hope in Legislation (AHL), and Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation (AHWF). 

2018年12月，加利福尼亚州众议员劳拉·弗里德曼（Laura Friedman）提出了议案“AB 44”，得到了美国人道协会（HSUS）的积极倡导以及多个组织的大力支持，其中包括捍卫动物组织（IDA）、法界动物希望组织（AHL）和动物希望与幸福基金会（AHWF）。

“The signing of AB 44 underscores the point that today’s consumers simply don’t want wild animals to suffer extreme pain and fear for the sake of fashion,” HSUS CEO Kitty Block said. “More cities, states, and countries are expected to follow California’s lead, and the few brands and retailers that still sell fur will no doubt take a closer look at innovative alternatives that don’t involve animal cruelty.” 

“法案‘AB 44’的签署突出表明了，当今广大消费者就是不希望野生动物因人们追求时尚而遭受极度的痛苦和恐惧，”美国人道协会的首席执行官（CEO）基蒂·布洛克（Kitty Block）说道。“预计将有更多的城市、州和国家效仿加利福尼亚州的榜样，而仍在销售皮草的少数品牌和零售商肯定会仔细研究不涉及虐待动物的创新替代品。”

This week, Newsom also signed SB 313 (known as the “Circus Cruelty Prevention Act”) into law, making California the third state—behind New Jersey and Hawaii—to ban wild animal circuses. SB 313 was authored by Senator Ben Hueso, and sponsored by animal-rights groups People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Social Compassion in Legislation (SCIL). 

本周，纽森还签署了参议院法案“SB 313”（名为“防止马戏团虐待动物法”）成为法律，加利福尼亚州──继新泽西州和夏威夷州之后──由此成为第三个取缔野生动物马戏团的州。“SB 313”法案是由参议员本·韦索（Ben Hueso）编撰，并得到了动物权利组织“善待动物组织”（PETA）和“法界社会慈悲”（SCIL）的积极倡导。

“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,” Hueso said. “I’m very proud of the work we’ve accomplished to close the curtain on circuses in our state that exploit these beautiful creatures.” 

“越来越多的州和地区对残忍马戏团实行了类似禁令，我们州现在也有幸成为其中一员，这是加利福尼亚州一个具有历史意义的日子，”韦索说道。“我们努力促使本州取缔剥削那些美丽生灵的马戏团，我非常自豪我们所取得的成果。”

Additionally, Newsom signed AB 1260 into law which bans the import and sale of certain “exotic” skins, including those derived from lizards, caimans, and hippopotamuses, a bill also sponsored by PETA and SCIL. 

此外，纽森还签署众议院法案“AB 1260”成为法律，禁止进口和销售某些“珍异”皮革，包括由蜥蜴、凯门鳄和河马等制取的皮革。该法案也同样得到了PETA和SCIL这两个组织的积极倡导。

“Californians’ dream of rejecting cruelty to animals in circuses, and the exotic-skins industries has come true,” SCIL founder and president Judie Mancuso said. “Social Compassion in Legislation is cheering our compassionate governor and lawmakers for slamming the door on these abusive industries and showing the rest of the country what a kinder future looks like.”  

“加州人摈弃虐待动物的马戏团和珍异皮革行业的梦想终于成真，”SCIL创始人兼总裁朱迪·曼库索（Judie Mancuso）说道。“本组织欢呼赞赏我们慈悲的州长和立法者们取缔这些残忍行业并向国内其他地方展示一个更仁慈的未来。”

In September, Newsom signed into law The Wildlife Protection Act of 2019 (AB 273), making California the first state to ban fur trapping.

今年九月份，纽森签署《2019年野生动物保护法案》（AB 273）成为法律，使加利福尼亚州成为美国第一个禁止人们猎取兽皮的州。
