New York, NY - A complaint regarding Canada Goose Holding Inc.’s advertising practices has been filed with the Federal Trade Commission on behalf of U.S. and Canadian groups Social Compassion in Legislation, Voters for Animal Rights, and The Fur-Bearers.

Sometimes multiple groups will introduce bills on the same subject. It happened this year to us with two bills. Fur sales and Blood Banks. We were working on a bill that would ban fur sales and fur trapping, we did extensive polling, we were confirming our author when out of nowhere Assemblymember Laura Friedman introduced AB 44 for HSUS.

You may remember we started the year with 11 sponsored bills. We want to thank each and every author for carrying these bills for us. Without their leadership and commitment, we cannot make the progress that we do for animals in California and beyond.

Major update to existing animal welfare legislation passed an important committee vote in the CA State Assembly yesterday, with AB 1260 passing the Assembly Water, Parks, and Wildlife Committee by a vote of 11-3.

Between the hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats being euthanized in California shelters, and families being separated from their pets in natural disasters, we are devastated that he vetoed SB 64.
