That was promoted and finacially supported by an animal rights group, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). The HSUS put millions of dollars into horrific videos in TV adds, none of which were shot in Oregon! The HSUS is the same animal rights group that puts the heart wrenching adds on TV of poor abused dogs and cats and asks for $19.00 a month -- and less than 1% actually goes to any hands-on animal care! It' an anti-hunting group that also seeks to end all animal and pet ownership in America! The HSUS is NOT an "animal protection" group as they market themselves -- but is primarily a group of lobbyists which writes and lobby's for animal rights legislation which has the agenda of ending all animal ownership and all human/animal contact -- including ending all hunting.Oregon already did a lot of damage to big game hunting in NE Oregon, first in the mid 1990s with the banning of hound hunting for predators, then later by not doing anything with all the wolves. That's probably why in part ODFW has to come up with "premium hunts" for people to apply for (throw money at) -- to offset a drop in tag and perhaps license revenue.
Support for the HSUS primarily comes from urban dwellers which means Democrats! I've followed and opposed every piece of legislation written and promoted by the HSUS in
Oregon and our Democrat majority has supported their legislation by a percentage of 100%! The Oregon Humane Society in Portland sits side by side with the HSUS in committee hearings and it is the Oregon Humane Society which introduces the animal rights and anti-hunting legislation written by the HSUS!
