Hawaii recently joined Maine, Maryland and Virginia s legislation on forbidding the sale of cosmetic products practicing animal testing on the process of its production, one of the most notable animal protection effort under the law.
Hawaii also becomes the seventh state to ban intentional release of balloons, one of the three most critical wildlife protection law to be passed by the state, thus preventing marine animals to ingest or get entangled in the non-biodegradable balloon pieces and reducing other environmental concerns associated with them.
