Live pigeon shoot criticized

[Dean Romig]

Aren't they cute.... including dogs and cats, thus ensuring the bill will pass. Anyone who votes against this bill, by definition, supports using dogs and cats as targets in trap or bx shoots..... What a deception - What a disgrace!!

These folks, the anti's, have a well thought out agenda and plenty of money. As generations become more an more separated from the reality of where there food comes from we will be facing this type of nonsense increasingly. As a hunting and shooting community we need not fight amongst ourselves over particular taking methods of game if legal. That only separates our strength as a voting block and allows the anti's room to move in. Right now there is a critical Bear hunting referendum on the ballot in the state of Maine that would outlaw bear baiting, hounding and trapping. Now I may not like the fact that bears are trapped, but the reality of it Is that is a long standing tradition in Maine and is well regulated. If this passes it will devastate the already fragile economy of Northern Maine. And it will have a negative effect on the efforts to re-build the struggling deer heard there. More bears will mean more predation of fawns in the spring by bears. Folks that have guided for generations will be flat out of business. And if you think for one minute that this is there end game, think again. Bolstered by a win there they will move on to each type of hunting one by one until we cannot hunt anymore. Please stay united on such issues. It is the only way we can win. If you can held this effort please take a minute and send them a donation. Even a small amount can help. JMHO.
