Animal rights advocates move closer to banning hunting in Oregon

Oregon voters have moved one step closer this week to potentially banning hunting, fishing and animal agriculture.
On Thursday, activists submitted a final batch of signatures to state officials for a ballot measure that would effectively criminalize such practices.
The proposal, known as the People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions (PEACE) Act, has not officially qualified for the ballot yet. State officials have until August to decide whether it goes to a popular vote in November elections.
The measure, Initiative Petition 28, would remove hunting, fishing and livestock husbandry exceptions from the state’s animal abuse law.
“We want to see the state of Oregon stop killing animals,” David Michelson, who is spearheading the campaign, told KGW of the effort, his third attempt to get such rules on the ballot.
Lol. This not only effects hunting and fishing, this would put an end to cattle ranching or farmers harvesting chickens for meat.
Make no mistake about it. This is about worshiping the creation rather than the creator.
I suppose there is a little bit of good news. “Twenty-two states recognize the right to hunt and fish in their constitution, according to the National Rifle Association, while 11 states have bans on Sunday hunting.”
