Thousands of Oregonians have signed a petition to get animal safety on the ballot this November, making it one step closer to an all-state ban.
People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions Act (PEACE) is asking Oregonians to put wild animals at the forefront of the ballot this year, but they've acknowledged getting 50 percent of residents on board will be an uphill battle.
'We really want to make Oregon the first state to vote on something like this,' David Michelson, the act's chief petitioner, told KOIN.
'We want to get that conversation out there. So that we can hopefully move in that direction.'
If the measure gets on the ballot and passed, it would change Oregon's animal cruelty laws.
It would expand the current law, which protects cats and dogs, to all wildlife, including those used in research.
The PEACE team has gathered nearly 30,000 signatures since October, according to the state election division.
'Our goal is to introduce people - often, many people, for the first time - will hear about what alternatives to killing animals even exist right now,' Michelson told KOIN.
Hunting and fishing are a large part of Oregonians' lives, which the initiative team recognizes. However, he said there are non-lethal to manage wildlife.
Non-lethal wildlife management can include introducing sterile males, converting chicken farms to mushrooms farms, or using using marginal lands for energy crops, Michelson told the Daily Mail.
Michelson told KOIN the initiative would include food assistance for those who rely on hunting for food.

Prohibiting the murder of vegetables will be next. “She was such a nice turnip with her whole life ahead of her”.
“They can do nothing: the treaty tribes are sovereign, thanks to being enshrined in the Constitution - something we are not.”
Surely you jest? When have Democrats ever, EVER, not broken a treaty with the natives?
Alwzys remember thix.... your POSTMAN KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU AND HIW YOU VOTE!
If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
I was just gonna say the same thing. They think food comes from the grocery store shelves. Great minds think alike.
Nobody is ILLEGAL on stolen land!
It would also ban ranching and raising chickens.
Will this include a ban on hunting humans by cross-dressing trannies? Because that appears to be trending lately.
“One does have to wonder how this can happen to states like Oregon and Colorado that used to define the wild west.”
Answer is simple; we had a chance at the end of the civil war to kill off the Democrats and Lincoln wasted that chance.
Usually when you have an infection you want to eliminate it, not forgive it, and allow it to fester.
These people are doing
this to keep being paid.
We gave an inch and now
they just keep coming up with
new stuff to ban.
All for a paycheck.
They need to get a real job.
If you can find Caerphilly cheese I am jealous! Possibly the best goat product EVAH!
The wackos in Portland, Salem and Eugene (who have the votes and are energized) will get this passed.
If it does pass, I will not pay for any future hunting and fishing licenses.
The fisheries recovery programs funded by licenses will go to hell. The Tribes are rich and should pick those programs up.
My only hope is for the hunters and fishers get organized and put this down at the ballot box.
If they ban hunting they will relearn a 100 year old lesson from Arizona.

In my area, not enough young hunters are replacing the older hunters, and the deer have become absolute pests. They decimate our gardens unless we erect deer-proof fencing. And deer on the roads are causing more and more vehicle wrecks. They’ve become a serious problem.
BAN ALL MEAT AND FISH SALES !!!!
BAN ALL MEAT AND FISH SALES !!!!
Whatever does not destroy a family is what I would prefer.
I believe that all of the Amendments to the Constitution after the first ten sound like they were written by morons.
It’s because of the voter fraud elections..they have the systems rigged and never have to worry about losing an election.
They’ll be back. Fret not.
The deer self-identified as venison. I merely gave it food chain transition therapy with a side dish of potatoes.
