Oregon Animal Rights Petition Fails | Portland News
Description
A radical animal rights initiative in Oregon aimed to ban hunting, fishing, ranching, and pest control—except for self-defense—by making such acts class A misdemeanors. Spearheaded by a Portland substitute teacher and backed by major animal rights groups, the petition gathered over 142,000 signatures but failed to meet the 117,000 valid signature threshold after two official audits. Oregon’s Secretary of State officially disqualified it late Friday, highlighting how technical hurdles can derail even well-funded and popular proposals.
