The measure, formally titled the People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions Act, would have amended Oregon’s animal cruelty statutes. Hunting, fishing, trapping, ranching and farming is safe for the moment. The animal rights lobby has been stopped for now.

If these people get their way, they will empower the government to punish people for hunting, fishing, and a host of other behaviors.
