Animal-Rights Activists Are Attempting a Ban So Absurd That It Would Affect 'Every Oregonian'

An initiative petition in Oregon is gaining signatures to hopefully get voters to ban hunting, fishing, livestock slaughter, and more in the state.

There is a reason that group is targeting that state, I know they say they don’t expect it to pass but I also wouldn’t be shocked if it did pass in a state dominated by two urban population centers where nobody is connected to the food they eat

Part of me wants it to pass. - some people just want to watch the world burn.

I’d finally have a convincing argument to my wife that we need to move elsewhere too

 

[Haro450]

I live in Oregon. We have contemplated moving for several years. I have always told my wife eventually Oregon will pass a law that will in essence force us to move. Its not if its when.

Having to swat down dumb bills like this every now and then is the price we pay for having the big city subsidize the rest of us in Oregon with their massive tax base

If this passes, elk and deer populations in OR should go through the roof! Huge racks everywhere!! Think of the opportunities for poachers!! . Of course the penalty for getting caught will be death by kale and hummus salad.

Well, it would certainly make hunting easier for the folks who live in the state. If any of you ever wanted to shoot a buck in velvet, that’ll be your chance.

 

[Oregon]

This state full of retarded people. I live in a bubble though. Surrounded by rainbows and unicorns. I live in the greatest spot in the US if you like shooting, trapping, digging, catching delicious eats. From mushrooms to elk, tuna to grouse, Dungeness crab to razor clams. All inside a 15 mile radius of my house. I don’t watch the news and only go to Portland for a phenomenal knee doctor and to the airport. I have 2 kids that live in Portland for 12 years. I’ve never been to there houses.
They visit plenty to the beach.
Politics don’t affect me at all. Nothing that comes out the capital has any bearing on my life. I hunt or fish 310 days a year.
This would either turn me into an outlaw or a guy who rents a big moving truck.
Fortunately(un?) this state has a high percentage of democrats who hunt and fish and farmers. It won’t pass. Just feel good legislation for 20% of the voting population.

How do you know if there’s a vegan at your party? They stand by the BBQ with a sign saying BURGER IS MURDER!!

The problem with OR is a large majority of the population is in the Portland area, and we all know what type of people are there and that is the majority of your votes. Same in WA, get away from I5 and the states are completely different

Whatever happened to the near complete ban of all firearms that made it to the ballot and passed?

Same.

Was argued at the OR Supreme Court a month or two back. The attorney arguing against it did a very good job and said to expect a decision in 4-9 months iirc. My guess is they will engage in tortured logic to uphold the law. The Oregon constitution and historical precedent's, by any fair reading I’ve seen, should lead to the law being mostly if not fully ruled unconstitutional in OR. We’ll see if their hate of guns trumps the state constitution.

What happens if you run over a squirrel? Or they see you have driven up I5 and have a ton of bug guts on your windshield? Or you're riding your fixy through downtown Portland and run through an ant trail?

 

[Ready2Rut]

What happens if you run over a squirrel?

Right away, jail.

Jail.

Or you're riding your fixy through downtown Portland and run through an ant trail?

Believe it or not, jail.

 

[Q_Sertorius]

Right away, jail.


Jail.


Believe it or not, jail.

“Overcook tofu?”
Jail.
“Undercook veggie burger?”
Jail.
“Overcook, undercook. See?”
“We have the best state in the union. Because of jail.”

Oregon really is incredible. Unfortunately, politics very much play a role for many folks...particularly those of us running businesses and raising young children.

I loved WA state for all the same reasons you mentioned...but still had no other choice but to roll up camp and head East.

Everyone has a breaking point, and stupidity like the bill OP posted would certainly be one for a lotta fellas

Yup. Well I dont do any of that coastie stuff, but everything else is spot on!

Haven't they been trying to push this thing through for quite some time now? Seems I remember hearing about this before

 

[bayoublaster7527]

This is what we are up against. I expect something similar in Colorado in the near future based on the path we are on. These people will never stop.

Thank you, gentlemen.
That made me smile.
