Colorado is trying to as well.

Need to introduce red wolves in the Portland area

I think technically Ranching would be outlawed from it as well.

Absolute bull**** with hopefully no chance of passing, but voters in Portland and Eugene are just dumb enough that it could pass and cost the state millions in litigation fees before being declared unconstitutional (like what is happening with the measure 114).

So the act would be to reduce "pain, suffering and fear"?

As with many liberal initiatives the unintended consequences will result in more of the thing it tries to prevent. In general, game animals killed by hunters have far quicker deaths than the ones that die from natural causes. Or maybe Oregon will build nursing homes for elderly deer and elk.

It may not pass the first, second or even the 5th time.

But the same thing was said about smoking bans in public and in bars, etc. Until eventually they did pass. Here's the thing about the left - they are absolutely bat sht crazy but they are relentless when it comes to something like this. They will get it on the ballot over and over and over again and eventually they simply wear the other side down until the other side just doesn't fight much anymore, and the left wins their cause.

It absolutely sucks, but they are a damned cancer that eventually kills everything around them. Which is why whenever a new gun control measure or something like this pops up and on this board you get the "yeah, it will never pass, no need in worrying about it!" crap mentality that poster needs to be called out and reminded that the long game is how they win, and they are friggin masters at it unfortunately.

Of all the fitting examples, I'm not sure ensuring non-smokers don't have to suffer through second hand smoke is the best one you could have used.

Especially since 70%+ of the public supported the ban and second hand smoke is medically horrible for others that chooose not to smoke. And it was done at the municiple levels where the issue took place.

Now if you want to start talking about people living in cities trying to ban things that don't legally happen in cities (hunting), what and how rural counties should address the situation, that would probably be a fun conversation.

Since so many animals die due to automobile strikes, I suppose driving will be banned as well?

Liberalism is mental illness.

This has nothing to do with animal animal cruelty. If it was, they would just ban the 6.5 CM.

The point












Your head

Considering they live on stolen land, they should cede the lands back to the wildlife and move their leftist asses out of the state altogether.

Oh, no. I got it.

That's why I said "Of all the fitting examples..."

I wouldn't want to stop the rant while you're rolling though.

During the committee session, Rep. Thy Trn, a Democrat from Portland, voted "no" on a key amendment. Legislative video shows Kropf audibly inhaling and then abruptly pausing the meeting before all members had finished voting.

So the meeting stopped.

According to a complaint later filed with the Legislative Equity Office by gun rights advocate Derek LeBlanc, Kropf and Trn stepped outside the room. The complaint alleges Trn was left visibly shaken and in tears after the interaction. It also claims Kropf threatened her and refused to accept her initial "no."
Kropf has denied wrongdoing and said he holds deep respect for Trn, declining to comment further because of the open complaint.

Of course.

A clock in the committee room shows roughly 20 minutes passed before the meeting resumed.
Then came the re-vote.

Trn appeared confused, asking, "Didn't we just vote on it already?"
Kropf replied that he had asked for a recall of the vote.

Again.

After several pauses and visible hesitation, Trn switched her vote to "yes." She later voted "yes" on the overall bill.

There is a branch of leftists that want to actually destroy the human race and believe humans are somehow unnatural or separate from the planet from which we emerged.
