Addition to Ethical Treatment Of Animals: CA
Regarding the animals in entertainment bullet point, it is time to expand this to all animal entertainment rather than how it currently reads of banning exploitation of animals in only violent sporting events.

Please note that the revision does not list all venues where animals are used for entertainment, but rather states “….including but not limited to….”
