Highlights
-On June 3, the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) submitted comments to the Oregon Secretary of State challenging the ballot title language of Initiative Petition 13 (IP 13), which seeks to end all hunting, fishing, and trapping in Oregon.
-IP 13, if passed, would prohibit the injuring or killing of all mammals, fish, reptiles, and amphibians, unless it occurs as an act of self-defense. In addition to prohibiting hunting and fishing, this sweeping initiative would impact common animal breeding practices, research, and education.
-Once the final ballot title language is certified, initiative proponents can begin gathering the 112,020 signatures required to place the initiative on the 2022 ballot.
~~SNIP~~
“End Animal Cruelty,” an animal rights activist group in Oregon, has proposed an initiative to be placed on the 2022 ballot that would eliminate all hunting, fishing, and trapping in the state of Oregon. Initiative Petition 13 (IP 13) would prohibit the injuring and killing of any mammal, fish, reptile, or amphibian, unless it resulted from an act of self-defense. The initiative would also make it a felony to engage in common animal breeding practices, including for domestic animals.
If passed, IP 13 would immediately impact Oregon’s 940,000 sportsmen and women who participate in the outdoors in support of conservation efforts, food procurement, and tradition. For generations, Oregonians from across the state have relied on Oregon’s rich natural bounty to provide fresh meat and fish for their families. The proposed initiative would also significantly impact the state’s ability to manage and protect its natural resources, wildlife, and public lands.

Typical Leftists - they don’t like something, so they want to prevent anyone else from doing it.
This would really light a fire under the western Oregon counties to join Idaho.
Sorry, eastern Oregon counties.
It’s OK. Everybody knows that the science is settled.
Food comes from Safeway.
The best course for America is to cease Oregon
Oregon must be purged from the Union.
Oregon has already purged federal law
The radical Left won’t be happy until everyone’s freedoms are gone, and we are all confined to our state collectives.
This has always been the case with the radical Left. The really scary thing is now they are strong enough to shape policy.
It’s been quite some time since I lived there, but it was (and probably still is) mainly the Portland metro area and to a lesser extent Salem and Eugene that are the problem. The rest of the state is a very rural mix of Farmers, Ranchers, and Hippy Communes :)
Good intentions, born of ignorance.
We living here aren't all from Portland or Seattle.
Hunting, fishing, raising livestock are normal, natural things that humans have done since there were humans. Liberals deny nature.
Anyone remember the history of the North Side of the Grand Canyon National Park about 100 years ago?
Hunting of deer was banned. They reproduced so fast the area was denuded, then came a massive die off of the deer and other animals in the North side.

So soon we forget.
“Typical Leftists - they don’t like something, so they want to prevent anyone else from doing it.”
It’s a precursor for gun control. If there is no hunting, there is no longer a need for rifles. The fishing one is interesting and I think it is a throwaway item, to be used to keep the hunting piece in place.
Is Oregon a non-kill shelter state?
Oh, it goes FAR beyond that

It will also ban slaughter of farm animals for meat.
Indeed the never will be lot love the taste of power and know how to abuse it.
It is a tease to get out the liberal vote.
Yes, but you are tax slaves paying your masters with essentially no control over your destiny. You and others in California, Illinois and New York all exist as vassals to the city states.
