California banned the sale of alligator skins decades ago, but for years, lawmakers granted exemptions. Not anymore.
A California law that will make alligator-skin boots and purses taboo has Louisiana farmers ornery.
The alligator skins are just the latest items on California’s hit list. Free plastic grocery bags and complimentary plastic straws in restaurants aren’t allowed. Sales of foie gras and fur are banned. And California also became the first state to prohibit pet stores from selling dogs, cats or rabbits that don’t come from shelters or adoption centers.
Companies won’t make state-specific products and will instead forgo using alligator altogether, the commission said.
