We must get a hold on the DNR and make it so only they have power to declare a hunting season, or make a "Right to Hunt, or something besides this dooming initiative crap.
Read the GR press today, The antis arent happy with prop 3 passing, they now realize the doves migrate and they havent saved a single dove:dizzy: "OH No"
Heres a quote from the site "animalsuffering.com", this is a MI womans post of these peoples goals. http://www.animalsuffering.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4591 it is posted below.
Who Controls our Natural Resources?
Who decides what animals are allowed to be shot by a hunter?
Who controls our Natural Resources in the U.S.?
In 24 states we have what is called a Citizen's Initiative opportunity, where we can help stop bad laws from being passed, and/or we can get good laws passed. Find out if your state is one of the 24, please.
Unfortunately, in the other states, special interest groups lobby governors to pass laws that hurt animals, and citizen's have little control. In Michigan, we are in a battle now over control of the mourning doves. Extreme bird shooters want to shoot them , and humane groups want to protect them (the campaign in Michigan is a great example on how to effectively manage a mainstream and winning campaign).
If you live in a state where the Citizen's Initiative exists, then get connected with your state governments action alerts relative to animals, and get connected with local humane groups and Political Action Committees (PACs). Here in Michigan we have only one PAC for animals, called HEAL PAC.
Rather than try to debate about hunting, consider trying to gain control of our Natural Resources, diplomatically. I am glad people on this site care to understand the mindsets of hunters. It is good to respect hunters for their efforts to be ethical, for, at times, we are all hypocrites, and it IS possible that some hunters have will leave a smaller footprint on the earth than you!
