San Francisco, October 2 (RHC)-- In the U.S. city of San Francisco, police arrested 37 animal rights activists after they occupied a Whole Foods Market for more than three hours.

The group Direct Action Everywhere accused Whole Foods and its parent company Amazon of purchasing food from factory farms where criminal animal abuse has been exposed.

During the protest, activists erected a 15-foot-tall cutout of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’s head on top of the store’s roof.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the nation’s first law to allow for college athletes to be paid for endorsement deals and to hire agents. The law is set to go into effect in 2023. In a statement, Newsom said, “Colleges and universities reap billions from these student athletes’ sacrifices and success but block them from earning a single dollar. That’s a bankrupt model — one that puts institutions ahead of the students they are supposed to serve.”
