And yet California insists on continuing to ban all kangaroo imports into the state.

Additionally, this product may not be available to purchase from Royal Canin directly if you are located in Nevada, parts of Utah, Arizona, Hawaii, or parts of Oregon because your order may be fulfilled from California
How does that work? Is it for worry about pests, or insecticide use? I thought the US Constitution prevents a state from banning products from another state.
I looked in the online California Code at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml but found no mention of "housecoat" or "house coat". I also found nothing relevant for "robe" or "robes". Could you point out the relevant law?
The section on frog jumping races is at http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xh....
It appears to be in place to allow frog-jumping contests while preventing the frog-jumping contest from being used as a way to get other other laws related to the capture and use of frogs.
Quoting http://articles.latimes.com/2003/feb/06/local/me-frogs6 : "After a thorough legal review, the lawyers discovered a provision tucked into the California Fish and Game Code in 1957 that basically exempts "frogs to be used in frog-jumping contests" from general wildlife rules."
Mark Twain's story about Calaveras County may be the reason behind that law.
I have no idea, but this is at least the guidance. https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/factsheets/BringingFruitsVeggi...
That said, I'd like to be clear in not knocking all laws of this sort, for example laws about citrus are obviously informed by: https://californiacitrusthreat.org/

I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I could not find it. I've seen it printed in so many places that I started to believe it without seeing the exact wording of the law. In fact, the only code referencing 'woman' in the Vehicle Code is about ownership.
Yes, California’s ag quarantine/inspection laws are about pests (and the prohibited without certificate imports are part of those laws). California is unusual in enforcing its quarantine laws with border inspections, but not in having them.
> I thought the US Constitution prevents a state from banning products from another state.
State ag quarantine laws are common and have generally been held Constitutional absent federal action that overlaps with or expressly preempts them.
If I had to guess why we ban kangaroo meat, it's probably because too many people think they're "cute".
