Animal rights advocates move closer to banning hunting in one state

Verified News Online

Oregon voters have moved one step closer this week to potentially banning hunting, fishing and animal agriculture.
On Thursday, activists submitted a final batch of signatures to state officials for a ballot measure that would effectively criminalize such practices.
The proposal, known as the People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions (PEACE) Act, has not officially qualified for the ballot yet. State officials have until August to decide whether it goes to a popular vote in November elections.
The measure, Initiative Petition 28, would remove hunting, fishing and livestock husbandry exceptions from the state’s animal abuse law.
“We want to see the state of Oregon stop killing animals,” David Michelson, who is spearheading the campaign, told KGW of the effort, his third attempt to get such rules on the ballot.
