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.

“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.

Family is important to me.
Your judgementalism is ignored.
I disagree about the “good intentions” part. JMHO
Was it H.L. Mencken or P.T. Barnum who said “no one ever lost a nickel betting on the stupidity of Americans.” Knowing Oregon, it will pass.
Fine ,then we just hunt them.
They don’t even have the signatures to put it on the ballot yet.
Still More ComDem Insanity!
NO! Pure evil, born of a demand they THEY are some kind of self promoted nobility.
The French first Republic had a cure. The National Razor. We must learn from history.
“Can I smash the cockroach on my
my kitchen floor? Can I?”
Only if it’s attacking you.
I would guess that they don’t realize.
That they would be defunding OR. fish and game.
No more wildlife studies no more game wardens.
The Left realizes.
This is the sort of stuff you have to deal with when you don’t regularly purge the Commies from your society.
Do it and species will be poached to extinction.
No f’in way.
Animal Rights Activists: The new venison!
< /s ?>
OK, without reading the whole article (of course) wouldn’t this proposed law outlaw slaughter houses as well. And if it doesn’t, how do the instigators justify the exemption? It’s OK to slaughter cattle but not shoot a deer?
Derrick Josi from TDF Honest Farming has been covering this and it’s potential effect on animal agriculture in Oregon.
Bottom line is it would shut it all down, but the people pushing the bill wont tell you that.
Here’s a link to his website article on the subject.

After an animal lives a full life, and exits the world naturally and humanely, this initiative does not prohibit a farmer from processing and distributing their body for consumption.
From the initiative.
No they would want to outlaw all slaughter houses and animal death by human.
No they would tax it in other ways
Yes, essentially.
It mandates that animals can only be used for consumption after they have lived a “natural life span”.
For cows, that can be 20 years or more. No one could afford beef with a 20 years of feed and care to pay for.
