Campaign behind initiative to criminalize hunting, fishing, and any intentional injury to animals in Oregon submits signatures for verification
On May 20, the campaign behind a ballot initiative to criminalize hunting, fishing, and any intentional injury to animals in Oregon submitted more than 120,000 signatures to the Oregon Secretary of State for verification.
While previous animal treatment measures in the country have addressed certain hunting methods, wildlife trafficking, farm animal confinement, animal fighting, racing, and animal experimentation, this would be the first to criminalize all hunting, fishing, the slaughter of animals for food, and livestock husbandry.
