Forwarded from a FB post. Anyone that participates in any type of hunt test or field trial should be aware.

As some of you may know Oregon and Wisconsin have proposed bills that if passed would ban any dog sports or field trials. While the language in each state is a little different the goal of the legislation remains the same. These bills are worrisome for many reasons, but the most troubling thing is the fact that this is how anti hunting groups start their agenda. First, they pick one thing that they know is an easy point for them to make to an un educated populace and then move on to the next. First it’s field trials with confined birds, then it will be using live birds at all. Soon enough they are trying to ban any hunting with dogs for any type of game. It’s already happened with Lions in Oregon, Washington, and California.
So, that all being said, I have linked an article by the folks at the sportsman’s alliance that talks more in depth about the Oregon legislation and also gives you access to your local representatives information. Please get a hold of them today and let them know where you stand! www.sportsmensalliance.org/…/oregon-ban-ends-field…/ ... See MoreSee Less
