Lawsuit filed against San Francisco over fur ban

San Francisco's fur ban is being challenged by the International Fur Federation with a federal lawsuit alleging the ban, which was approved in 2019 and took full effect on January 1, violates the Commerce Clause in the U.S. Constitution. The International Fur Federation is also driving home the environmental issues of a fur ban, because faux furs tend to be made from plastics that harm the environment, while real fur has a longer lifespan and can be repurposed and handed down rather than adding to landfills and pollution.
