Written by Vegetarian Star on June 18th, 2014 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Meatless Mouthful.
“As a New Jersey native I was delighted to learn from my friends at The Humane Society of the United States that our state could be the first in the country to enact a ban on the importation and sale of ivory – a product of horrific cruelty to elephants and rhinos, who could very well become extinct within decades if we don’t act now. Governor, you have my full support and I hope you usher this critical bill through without delay.”
—Meryl Streep, in a statement addressed to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, urging him to sign bill S.2012/A.3128 into law, prohibiting the sale and trade of elephant ivory and rhino horns in the state.
