"Humane Society of the United State (Not your local pet rescue group)"
Extreme lefty group. Mourning dove hunting was talked about in WI a couple years ago. I don't know what the outcome was, but there was sure an uproar from the liberals. Just imagine the overpopulation of deer in our areas (WI and MI), and other states like TX and PA, the starvation and deasease if hunting was banned. These libs are clueless, hunters actually contribute greatly to animal management.
The first time it was up, the dove bill lost by one vote(senate). It then passed the house twice more and finally got past the senate the second time it was up for a vote there. Granholm shocked me by signing it, but it went to referendum thanks to Parcelle's crew.
Extreme Leftists is right. Unfortunatly, most people think HSUS is about rescuing pets. Even a lot of hunters belong to HSUC thinking that what they are supporting. Similar names with the local humane society - but big difference in what the group does.
The signature line of the quote though was telling. Peter Singer.
