Oakland, Calif. –

PETA Foundation Deputy General Counsel Delcianna Winders’ statement follows:

Thanks to the Oakland City Council, elephants in Oakland will be protected from bullhooks—weapons that resemble a fireplace poker with a sharp hook on one end. PETA looks forward to seeing more cities across the country follow Oakland’s compassionate and progressive example.
