OREGON INITIATIVE PETITION 13 PROPOSES TO CRIMINALIZE HUNTING

[nwwanderer]

David Michelson is the guy, both states, very serious.  Would be ashamed of Oregon if it gets more than 10%

Don't underestimate the insanity and wokeness of the left

I agree but don't underestimate how much Democrat politicians like money.

This would cut billions from the Oregon economy.

My bad, IP 13 has the 1000 signatures it needs to get permission to collect the 112,000+ by July 2022 to make the fall ballot, 2022.

Good news... for now... the backers of Oregon IP 13 have postponed their initiative drive.  Must have had trouble gathering the required number of signatures.

No, it's still alive.  They've just renamed it IP3.  Comments were submitted to Oregon Secretary of State to clarify the misleading wording in May.  We're waiting for how SOS makes them change the wording.  But the group is going for the next ballot measure.  Cattle, dairy, farming, hunting, and fishing organizations are aligned against the IP3 backers in Oregon.  We'll see how much SOS makes them change their misleading wording before they go to collect signatures.

It basically outlaws meat farming, dairy farming, hunting, fishing, etc. and criminalizes most activities. Allowing people to only eat meat if it dies of natural causes. Makes artificial insemination be legally classified as raping an animal.  Pathetic.  Hence the push to makes Oregon SOS revise the wording so it's not so misleading, and is honest about what this crazy group is trying to do.  The group behind IP3 is to the LEFT of PETA.  Which is hard to believe, but true. 

It's highly likely to get shot down in Oregon.  Regardless of what outsiders say about Oregon, even most Democrats are against this insane initiative.

These people are insane. And to be clear, this is not the goal of the left. This is the goal of cultish animal rights nuts. There are millions of democrats who hunt, fish, and make a living off farming. Let's not confuse the enemy here. These people are the less than 1% insane, and categorizing them as "the left" only makes them look bigger and more powerful than they actually are. This will go nowhere. Take a deep breath.

If this passes I hope they start prosecuting house cats, dogs, weasels, sea lions, seals, otters, sharks, orcas, wolves, mountain lions, bobcats, bears, coyotes, owls, falcons, eagles… etc. if animals need equal “consideration” they should be equally prosecuted.

This sounds outrageous now, but just like a frog in boiling water, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more and more of this over the next few years, until the dems get their way. After several years of this being proposed on ballots, the corporate media, NFL, and big tech will deem it’s time to pass it and get all the mindless voters to do so. Heck, less than 10 years ago the idea of a man cross-dressing as a woman was still outrageous. Now you can’t even question it. We get the culture we tolerate…

Would not be surprised if our well known billionaire is also behind this.  He is buying large tracts of farmland to begin planting soybeans for making into fake meat!  Maybe it’s time to let Redmond know what kind of neighbor they have!  One who want to get rid of red meat!

Kinda like labeling the KKK as representative of everyone on the right.

This is no different than what PETA has been trying to do for as long as I can remember. Thankfully there are plenty of dems that like to fish and eat a good t-bone.  Think about it, several of the most popular fisheries anywhere are right next to Seattle and Portland.  The most popular restaurants in both cities have menus that revolve around fish and meat. That means the residents want to eat fish and meat. Pike Place Market isn’t famous for tossing tofu. I’d be more worried if they tried to isolate hunting from fishing and ranching.
