***Very important*** New dove hunting bill in the works

[Guest guest]

[if you have friends / relatives in MI opposed to hunting, please do

An emergency has arisen in MI with extremist hunting groups trying to

push a bill to hunt mourning doves. Dove hunting has been banned for 95

years and there is actually very little public support to hunt doves.

But lobbyists are trying to sneak in the bill just after thanksgiving

when people are out on vacation, to avoid public scrutiny.

 

There will be a public hearing the coming Tuesday to discuss the bill:

 

November 28

Time: 10 AM

Place: 519 House Building, Lansing, MI

 

The best way to help out would be for supporters of the ban to show up

in large numbers. At the hearing, you should also identify yourself as

a dove supporter willing to testify for the birds. The pro-hunting

lobby has planned this for a while, so they will have their own set of

dove hunting supporters.

 

All the big AR organizations - HSUS, PETA and Fund for Animals have

action alerts posted on their websites today regarding this:

If you cannot make it to the hearing, please contact your legislators

at 517-373-0170 and ask them to vote against dove hunting.
