PA Bill Could Ban Mechanically Launching Live Animals for Target Shooting

[Guest guest]

I had NO idea that these heinous acts of cruelty are not only happening out there, but are legal. Oh my gosh!

 

"During these events, participants compete for prizes and money to shoot live birds launched from spring-loaded boxes and have them land within a ring."

 

"A related activity called live block shoots involves live, domestic turkeys who are tied to bales of hay and shot from yards away with arrows."
