Enjoy hunting, fishing, and eating meat while you can. None of these things is to be permitted as progressives progress toward utopia. Moonbattery-addled Oregon shows the way.
KPTV reports:
Animal rights advocates are close to having enough signatures to qualify a ballot measure in Oregon that would dramatically change how animals are treated under state law, including banning most hunting, fishing, livestock farming and animal research.
The proposed measure Initiative Petition 28, would remove many long-standing exemptions in Oregon’s animal cruelty laws. Under the initiative, most activities that hurt or kill animals would become criminal offenses.
No doubt many who self-righteously signed the petition would abort their own children without batting an eye. Too bad babies can’t self-identify as animals.
[Chief petitioner David] Michelson compared the initiative to the women’s suffrage movement.
It had to be either that or the fight to end Jim Crow. Self-parody is second nature to liberals.
The tyrannical proposal has a suitably moonbatty name: the PEACE Act (People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions).
Opponents, including the Oregon Hunters Association, say it would force Oregonians onto a vegan diet or force people [to] have their meat products shipped in from other states. They say it would destroy entire industries, including agriculture, fishing, hunting, scientific research, food production, pest control and restaurants.
In short, it would help render Oregon unlivable for anyone but moonbats — which will soon be the case anywhere they consolidate power.

What a messed up state.
Let me guess - only indigenous peoples will be allowed, as much as they want.
President Trump might just ban Oregon. Oregon by declating it’s self as a sanctuary and abrogating federal law has in effect resigned from the Union.
As such, Oregon may revert to territorial status similar to the new territories of Alberta and Saskatchewan
One difference is that Alberta has gasoline while Oregon does not
What Indians do on the reservation is nobody’s business but their own.
If white man want to be stupid that is his business.
Wait until the cute cuddly bears start eating the AWFULs.
Wait…that could be a good thing, no?
You can thank commie libtard hippies for this insanity.
Bizarro world.
Once again, virtue signaling and ignorance flies in the face of common sense.
This time in the form of SJWs not understanding the importance of controlling animal populations.
It’ll probably take bear attacks skyrocketing to wake up these idiots but by then lives will more than likely be lost and at that point it’ll be too late.
Neighboring states should sue due to the inevitable overcrowding of wild animals and the attendant wasting diseases that will occur.
See post 9
Wasting disease in an oversize herd of deer will affect the entire region.
Sounds like Idaho is about to get bigger.......
First Oregon destroyed commercial fishing
Then destroyed the timber industry
Now they will destroy ranching.
The only product they will have left to sell will be communist mercenaries and protesting school kids.
Everything liberals touch turns to sht.
“The only product they will have left to sell will be communist mercenaries”
That and pot.
Have they figured out how much tax revenue they lose and how people will die on the roads and the increase in animal diseases etc etc etc ?
How can the current government dictate what happens on stolen land?
Hiking next. Stay in your 15-minute cities!
I fully expect Virginia to try this next.
