华人聘新律师欲推翻加州禁鱼翅法案

    食品伙伴网讯   据外媒报道，近日美国旧金山华人指控加州禁鱼翅法案（AB376）歧视华人一案发生转机，华人团体聘请南加州律师邓尼鲍尔（Michael Tenenbaum）做辩护。

    18日邓尼鲍尔（Michael Tenenbaum）称，联邦订有严格法律管制鲨鱼捕捉及买卖，加州政府无权过问，所有合法途径获得的鱼翅，都可合法在加州出售。

    第九巡回法庭一个由三名大法官组成的合议庭，当日为两华人团体“华埠街坊会”及“美亚正义联盟”提出的推翻禁鱼翅法案（AB376）诉讼举行听证会。原告两次败诉后，上诉至第九巡回法庭。

    部分原文报道如下：

    California is forcing fishermen to treat shark fins “like plutonium,” a lawyer representing dozens of Chinese business owners told the 9th Circuit on Wednesday.

    The business owners, of which more than two dozen packed the San Francisco courtroom, claim California's ban on the sale and possession of shark fins places a substantial burden on commerce.

    The law was sponsored by Chinese Assemblyman Paul Fong, and became effective in 2012.
