Federal judge rules against California's alligator product ban
Fox News
Chief U.S. District Judge Kimberly Mueller ruled that California cannot ban the importation and sale of alligator and crocodile products.
Mueller had already blocked enforcement of the law while lawsuits challenging it played out in her court. Plaintiffs included businesses based in California, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Montana and Wyoming.
The California ban had covered products made from alligators and two species of crocodile — Nile and Saltwater. All can be sold legally under international treaty and U.S. federal law.
