HSUS to Stage Anti-Hunting Call-in-Day in Pennsylvania |
Wednesday, September 14, 2011 |
When the Pennsylvania Senate reconvenes on Monday, September 19, the anti-hunting extremists of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) will stage an End Live Pigeon Shoots Call-in-Day to members of the state Senate. The HSUS Call-in-Day is in support of immediate action on Senate Bill 626, legislation sponsored by state Senator Patrick Browne (R-16) prohibiting organized bird shoots. This proposal still remains active on the Senate Calendar for possible consideration. Organized bird shooting is a traditional shooting sport widely practiced in more than thirty-five states across the nation, not only in Pennsylvania as opponents falsely claim. For over a century, shoots have been held in Pennsylvania by law-abiding, ethical shooting enthusiasts. Radical national animal rights" groups, led by the HSUS, have organized and funded efforts in Pennsylvania and around the country to ban this longstanding, traditional shooting sport. Make no mistake, this is not just about banning organized bird shoots; this is ultimately about banning all hunting, species by species and method by method. Here are a few examples of HSUS activities: * Oppose Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania Next week, its crucial that your state Senator hears your voice over the emotional pleas of the anti-hunting zealots. Please contact your state Senator and urge him or her to protect Pennsylvanias sporting traditions by opposing SB 626.

Same here. 52, 926 and 100 hardest hit. :-)
‘hardest hit’ - speaking of, I’m the house on 926 that people tend to run into.
It was bad in VF the last time I ran there. Were I live we cull them but there a far too many in other areas. Even NE Philly is filthy with them
The doe that ravaged my garden last season is in my freezer.
I lived in KoP as a kid in the late 60s/early to mid 70s. Deer weren’t a problem. Seems like the problem took off in the 90s.
