Proposed Oregon bill would ban hunting/fishing

[1srelluc]

Apparently the animal rights folks in Oregon and nearing enough votes to put up an initiative to ban hunting (and maybe beef cattle) on the ballot.

Controversial Oregon petition to ban hunting and fishing gains momentum

SALEM Ore. (KPTV) - Animal rights advocates are close to having enough signatures to qualify a ballot measure in Oregon that would dramatically change how animals are treated under state law, including banning most hunting, fishing, livestock farming and animal research.

The proposed measure Initiative Petition 28, would remove many long-standing exemptions in Oregon’s animal cruelty laws. Under the initiative, most activities that hurt or kill animals would become criminal offenses. Exemptions would remain for self-defense and veterinary care.

The chief petitioner David Michelson told FOX 12 on Thursday, that they have about 105,000 signatures. By law, they need 117,173 verified signatures to qualify for the ballot in November. There’s no indication how many of the signatures gathered so far will be verified.

Michelson compared the initiative to the women’s suffrage movement.

They should outlaw logging as well. Nothing but communism shall remain.

I like it. I remember when democrats were all in on gun control too. Pass Sharia Law and no meat sales in stores too.

' Don't count chicks before all the eggs hatch. '
Leftwing-nuts flocking to OR may outnumber those salmon fishers.

Depends on who verifies the signatures necessary to get it on the ballot.

"...banning most hunting, fishing, livestock farming and animal research. "
More like "all" rather than 'most'.

livestock farming ... Means all farming/ranching of chicken, turkey, pig, beef, and "farmed fish" will be protected - can not kill/harvest.
Will put most farming and all ranching out of business, out of state.

Good, let them starve.

Leftwing-nuts, whom are ignorant to start with, do.
But only at places like Whole Foods, local Co-Op, and other "organic" ones. The big chains sell Soylent Green.

Good, let them starve.

Except not all, maybe just under half the population, aren't loony tunes Leftwing-nuts.
They will likely have to smuggle in food or join the exodus of sanity leaving that state.
