Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 URGENT!!! STOP HB 301 THE " RIGHT TO HUNT " BILL IN GEORGIA !!! HB301 passed out of committee but not in time to survive independently on its own. For HB 301 to pass, it must be attached to another bill and then voted on. Please contact Georgia State Senator IMMEDIATELY and ask that any bill with HB301 attached be stopped. These are the last days of the legislative session and bills move very quickly. IT IS URGENT, PLEASE DO NOT DELAY in contacting Georgia Senators for a 'NO' vote for any bill with HB301 attached. SUMMARY OF of HB 301: HB 301 elevates hunting, trapping and fishing from a " privilege " to a " right. The bill also provides that there be " no net loss of hunting opportunity on state-owned lands, " and it improperly withdraws all authority of counties and municipalities to regulate hunting, trapping and fishing within their boundaries. IN YOUR LETTER TO SENATORS, PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING KEY POINTS FOR VOTE " NO " FOR ANY BILL WITH HB 301. : (note: Please read the following points first.) 1: HB 301 improperly withdraws all authority of counties and municipalities to regulate hunting, trapping and fishing within their boundaries. This may impede the ability of local governments to efficiently address matters of public safety. 2: HB 301 means a reduction in hunting-free parks and recreation areas for Georgians to enjoy. 3: Any inherently dangerous activity should be a " privilege " and NOT a " Right " . Hunting and trapping are inherently dangerous activities involving deadly firearms and other weapons, and therefore should remain no more than a privilege. 4: HB 301 is unnecessary because there is no threat to hunting activities in Georgia. 5: HB 301 creates a special status for hunters, trappers and fishermen that is denied to all other participants in sports and recreation. 6: HB 301 is to boost hunters position to have the " rights " to KILL. This will increase Georgia's hostility to the nature and the engagement in the ANIMAL CRUELTY such as excruciating painful and barbaric LEGHOLD TRAPS and cruel Arrows & Bows used by hunters. (nearly all of the civilized countries had outlawed the Leghold Traps and Arrows). 7: Please don't forget to Sign your NAME (U.S. Constituent) and BE POLITE AND SERIOUS, ALWAYS !!! If you live in Georgia, please stating clearly your address in detail. ------------- CONTACT INFORMATION : 1: Please use Copy and Paste to send emails to ALL of the State Senators in Georgia : Copy the following entire Senator list and then Paste into BCC field. It must have a comma between addresses which we already provided for you . Please simply address to : Dear Senator , At end of your letter , please write down your NAME, (US Constituent).

This will greatly boost the Economy in Georgia State. However, if HB 301 passed in the Senate, i.e. Georgia boost hunters position to have the " rights " to kill animals , we will advise all of our friends and all of our members and business associates globally NOT to travel to Georgia for pleasure . We will also advise them NEVER buy any products and services from Georgia because of Georgia's hostility to the nature and the engagement in the animal cruelty such as painful cruel LEGHOLD TRAPS and cruel ARROWS & BOWS (both had been outlawed in most of civilized countries.) While today's economy intertwined globally, this will undoubtedly greatly reduce the Economy in Georgia State .
