Granholm signs bill to allow hunters to shoot doves

I'm shocked at this considering she marched with the million moms in 2000. Granholm must be listening to Lt Gov. John Cherry(a pro-2a dem) on this issue. She signed another pro-2a bill awhile back.

We have a lot of mourning doves around our place. There's a great horned owl that lives in our woods who keeps them under control. You can see the piles of feather in the woods where he's been dining on them.

The mourning dove ain't no "bird of peace"...it is considered a pest in many areas.

Do they taste like chicken?

Country Pigeon/Redneck Seagull. Tastes like chicken

[Mister Baredog]

Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed a bill Friday that changes the dove's classification from a song bird to a game bird.

PETA alert. Where's Pam Anderson when we need her?

[bmwcyle]

Dark meat and make a great Wok dish when you shoot enough of them.

[cripplecreek]

She isn't fooling anyone, she just knows that she isn't firmly entrenched here in Michigan and is doing her best to appease us. She probably ran to the nearest restroom and vomited immediately after signing the bill.

As for the doves i dont hunt them but my jack russels kill a couple dozen over the course of a year.

More like liver.

More recently, Granholm indicated she only would sign the mourning dove hunt bill if it would go to Michigan voters for their approval. "We're absolutely furious," said Wayne Pacelle, chief executive officer of The Humane Society of the United States. "It's really so disheartening to see her flip flop in such dramatic fashion."

I'd like to know WHY she flip-flopped. What deal did our spineless state GOP make with the Canadian Trash THIS time? Are THEY going to flip-flop on the tobacco tax hike to $2 a pack?

There's some skullduggery going on here, and we should find out what it is soon.

But of course...

That is, if ya get good enough to actually hit one.

If you've never been dove hunting you're in for a big surprise...those are some quick thinking little boogers.

[Lee Heggy]

Um...I say Conspiracy Gaius, would you care for another garlic roasted dove or pehaps one of these delicious larks tounges in aspic...the honey roasted doormice are quite excellent...is the vomitorium to the left or right?

[sergeantdave]

I have one dove that sits in my bird feeder. Doesn't eat the seeds. Just sits on them. Wierd.

[saveliberty]

LOL! Doves are pigeons! they are violent birds. Kinda makes you wonder why they ever came to be a symbol for peace.

I think they taste a lot like Bald Eagles.

[You Dirty Rats]

The headline is misleading! I thought this law would allow hunters to shoot anit-war protestors.

[looscnnn]

She did it to give the look like being pro-hunting, while she figured that the voters won't vote for it.

[tpaine]

You hunt and eat eagles?
Give us a break.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I don't eat dove anymore so I no longer hunt them. Quail is a different story.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I have to run them away from my feeders. They are feathered pigs.
