Animal Protection, Hunting Rights on State Ballots in November

 

WASHINGTON, DC, September 27, 2000 (ENS) - Voters in seven states will be asked

to accept or reject a host of measures concerning the hunting, racing, trapping

and poisoning of animals that will appear on their ballots in the November

election.

 

Wayne Pacelle, a senior vice president at the Humane Society of the United

States, said that the large number of animal related measures on state ballots

this year is indicative of a growing movement towards more animal protections.

 

" Frustrated by inaction or obstructionism by elected officials, citizens are

taking matters into their own hands and placing animal protection measures on

ballots for direct voting by the people, " said Pacelle. " Citizens can halt

animal cruelty simply by exercising the franchise during this year's general

election. "

 

More than a dozen measures designed to protect animals have been approved by

voters since 1990, Pacelle noted.
