A complaint has been filed against California Gubernatorial candidate John Cox to stop him from holding campaign events with a 1,000-pound bear named Tag, which the suit says is illegal.
The complaint, filed in San Diego County Superior Court of California by animal rights group the Animal Protection and Rescue League (APRL), claims Cox and his team are violating animal cruelty and animal nuisance laws by using Tag the Bear as a prop during his campaign rallies.

The 1,000-pound bear that Rancho Santa Fe businessman John Cox expected would draw attention to his quest for the California governor’s office has instead attracted a different kind of notoriety.
A group of San Diego animal activists has filed a lawsuit asking a judge to order Cox to immediately suspend any further public appearances with the animal through the duration of the campaign to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Lawyers for the Animal Protection and Rescue League claim that Cox’s campaign stop in San Diego earlier this month violated a city ordinance and that ongoing appearances are illegal under federal law.
