(Richard Vogel/AP)(CNN) - California has become the first US state to ban the sale of animal fur products. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Friday that will make it illegal to sell, donate or manufacture new fur products in the state. Used fur and taxidermy products are exempt from the ban, along with leather, cowhide and shearling. Fur products used for religious purposes or by Native American tribes are also exempt, and fur lawfully taken with a hunting license is still allowed.
