I am a PA resident and I strongly support this bill. I have contacted my state rep and state senator requesting that they end the barbaric tradition of live pigeon shoots in PA. Innocent birds are drugged and then shot into the sky as projectiles where hunters shoot them down. Anything not dead by gunfire is strangled. Children collect the carcasses in baskets. This barbaric practice is an insult to reputable hunters. I support the 2nd amendment and the right of sportsmen to hunt but this horror is not hunting.

Indeed.

The NRA should be fighting for repeal of GCA68, not this nonsense. Gotta love how they put "animal rights" in quotes......sometimes animal rights really just means animal rights. I let my NRA membership lapse, and this is only an affirmation of that.....this organization fights the easy fights instead of the ones they should be fighting, like the previously mentioned repeal of GCA68.

This makes hunters look barbaric, gun owners look barbaric, and even people in PA look barbaric.
