Suit Filed to End All Hunting, Fishing and Trapping
Suit Filed to End All Hunting, Fishing and Trapping
In New Jersey (Columbus) - Anti-hunters today filed a lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to suspend all hunting, fishing and trapping. The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation is looking into the merits of the case to determine what action to pursue. The case alleges that the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife has issued sporting licenses to convicted felons. To avoid future instances, the plaintiffs are asking Judge Susan Reisner of the Superior Court of New Jersey to suspend all hunting, fishing and trapping licenses until a background check system for all license buyers is put into place. "This is the most outrageous and blatant attack on sportsmen's rights that we have seen in our 25-year history," said Bud Pidgeon, U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation president. "To besmirch the reputation of sportsmen by linking us to felons is unconscionable. Sportsmen are America's greatest conservationists, paying literally billions each year to fund fish and wildlife programs across the country." It is illegal in New Jersey for any convicted felon to possess or purchase a weapon, Pidgeon said. Criminal background checks would unnecessarily delay the issuance of a sporting license. The lawsuit even asks that fishing license purchases require background checks. The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation protects and defends America's wildlife conservation programs and the pursuits - hunting, fishing and trapping - that generate the money to pay for them. The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation is responsible for public education, legal defense and research. Its mission is accomplished through several distinct programs coordinated to provide the most complete defense capability possible.

Sir,
I do not have time to play games. I am sure you will hear more about it in due time, and the sal****er fishing in NJ is excellent. Hunting can be very good in the Delaware Gap region. By the way, the Sierra Club is attempting to ban hunting on public land in Quebec. -- James Ehlers Outdoors Magazine www.outdoorsmagazine.net "Sam Salmon" wrote in message ...

LMAO!!! Canadians don't put up with the kind of bull you're bombarded with in the USA. Here in BC PETA hides in dank apartments in the poorest part of Vancouver they never venture into the outdoors because they can't afford to drive-so I'm told I've never seen them there.

Environmental Group Working to Ban Hunting- (12/13)
A chapter of the Sierra Club of Canada is planning to initiate a movement to ban hunting and trapping in Canada's wildlife reserves. According to the Montreal Gazette, the Quebec Group of the Eastern Canada Chapter of the Sierra Club of Canada launched a campaign to denounce Quebec's wildlife conservation policies and begin a movement to ban hunting and trapping on reserves. "Well-organized groups of hunters and trappers, with government collaboration, have succeeded in subverting the original purpose of reserves," said Ray Raymond, chairman of the Quebec Group. "Hunting and trapping are activities that have no basis in conservation and are incompatible with species-conservation objectives." Raymond goes on to imply that permitting hunting and trapping will devastate biodiversity on reserves. Nothing could be further from the truth. Trapping, hunting and fishing are regulated to prevent declines in wildlife populations and deterioration of habitats. According to the Draft Québec Strategy on Biological Diversity 2002-2007, sportsmen will be helpful in monitoring biodiversity. Records showing the number of white-tailed deer and moose taken by hunters will help gauge the condition of these wildlife populations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information on this website can be reprinted with a citation to the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance and www.ussportsmen.org -- James Ehlers Outdoors Magazine www.outdoorsmagazine.net "Sam Salmon" wrote in message ...

No Constitutional 'Right' To Hunt, Say Animal Advocates
No Constitutional 'Right' To Hunt, Say Animal Advocates
by ANC Staff and The Fund for Animals Posted on November 24, 2003 On November 18 the House Game and Fisheries Committee passed a joint resolution (H.B. 1512) proposing to amend the state constitution to grant residents of Pennsylvania the 'right' to hunt. The decision has provoked strong protest from The Fund for Animals, a national animal protection organization with 9,000 members and active supporters in Pennsylvania. "The constitution is a sacred document which shouldn't be used as a graffiti wall for political rhetoric," The Fund's National Director, Heidi Prescott, said. "To establish constitutional protections for recreational pursuits such as hunting is not only inappropriate, but redundant." she said. "Nearly a million people already hunt in Pennsylvania without having that 'right' enshrined in the constitution." Prescott said the bill may expose the Pennsylvania Game Commission to lawsuits from hunters who do not think any restriction on hunting is reasonable - wanting larger bag limits, longer season dates, and additional species to shoot. "If one special interest group is allowed to use the state constitution for its purposes, the floodgates will be opened for other groups to follow," said Prescott. "What's next? An amendment allowing the right to play golf or go shopping?" Only a handful of states across America have "right-to-hunt" amendments in their constitutions. Most states have rejected such measures. "Legislators in most states - even major hunting states - have had the common sense to defeat bills granting constitutional status to sport hunting," said Prescott. "The citizens of Pennsylvania do not need to add a silly provision protecting a recreational hobby."

You paranoid yanqui asswipes are too much to be believed-why are you so scared all the time anyway? What's next-'terrorist attack' on fishin'? LMAO!!!! Isn't there some way for you to invent a reason to lock up everyone who isn't excatly like you? Oh right I forgot it's called 'Homeland Security' and is run by a convicted criminal. You spend to much time worrying and not enough fishing. Taking your heads out of your collective asses and having a breath of fresh air is a start but maybe too radical a course of action for you to contemplate-I know for a fact that independent thought is discouraged in your dungheap of a country. Don't believe me? Try watching your television for 30 minutes without throwing up.
