I was incredulous when I first saw this. I actually lived in Oregon as a child and while it’s been many years I remember the hunting culture was much stronger than even in KentuckIana where we have lived since. We lived on the Western semi-desert side, not far from Crater Lake.

Oh here is the man behind the movement to ban hunting/fishing in Oregon; David Michaelson.

The proposed law bans exterminators killing rats, so it will fail.

They’ll come back with a hunting and fishing ban later, and that will probably succeed.

At which point, poaching game will skyrocket. I know hunters and fishermen. If they don’t have a legal regulated sport, they go off reservation and kill everything everywhere. And be protected by all their local buddies.

Portland may get more than it bargained for.

AS I UNDERSTAND-—IT ISN’T JUST HUNTING& FISHING.

IT WOULD WIPE OUT ALL ANIMAL OWNERSHIP...NO MORE CATTLE RANCHES/ HORSE FARMS/CHICKENS/PIGS, ETC.

THE ENTIRE COMMERCIAL FISHING ON THE OREGON COAST WOULD BE WIPED OUT. 3/4 OF THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE STATE ARE CATTLE RANCHES.

NO INCOME? HOW WOULD THEY PAY THEIR TAXES????

Hunting and fishing is conservation. Animal rights activists are profoundly anti environmentalism. If hunting was banned Oregon would be overrunned with starving animals.

Why can’t people just mind their own business. Danm Nancys. You never see them trying to ban their beta male activities.

This means Bears cannot get fish, wolves and coyotes can’t hunt rabbits, squirrels etc...Snakes cannot catch rats and mice...Eagles and hawks cannot go after rabbits, fish, or squirrels...

ALL hunting and fishing will be ILLEGAL!!!!!

Properly regulated hunting is necessary for the health of the ecosystem especially since most apex predators are gone. Idiots tried something like this on some state parks in Ohio. Ended up with a sick malnourished overpopulated deer population.

People proposing this are morons.

It doesn’t matter what “Oregon” thinks. It is what the bums along I5 think and Portland.

There *HAS* to be something else going on here. They’re trying to stir up outrage to cover up something else.

I live in the area, and I don’t think that they’re this stupid.
