Bill to make Hunting Competitions illegal in NY

[WesternNY]

WOW   Not the best written article, but man we all need to do something to protect our rights in NY!

It just never ends, when hunting and guns are outlawed (i really think in another 100 years this is a possibility), they will just find something else to ban.

Yeah, the article is truly one of the worst written that I have ever seen. But anyway, these kinds of whiney proposals come along every year, and they never see a day's worth of success. There are all kinds of cases where these contests are really a response to a destructive over-population problem. A good example is one that can be found in the bill itself that whines about crow competitions. I am reminded of pictures on the TV of the crow problem in Rochester where they do not have the contest option available to them. The pictures showed public benches in park areas that were white with crow crap. What a filthy, opportunity for disease spread not only to humans, but within the entire bird population as well. So for Rochester, the solution has focused on making noises, and blowing off fireworks and such which is very expensive and has to be one hell of an irritant to the people that must live and work in these areas.

 

The fact is that a lot of the critters that are targeted by these contests are no longer a species that hunters are actively hunting, and the populations are just running rampant. These contests are the only way to motivate hunters to pursue these species. The contests are serving a useful and necessary purpose.

And guess who sponsored this bill. A REPUBLICAN! Just another piece of proof that neither side of the aisle gives a damn about what we peasants think.

we should hold a battle royAL! we the people vs these idiots lol

 

i mean really its just getting out of hand now... its just a matter of time before our rights keep getting stripped us and someone to take matters into their own hands... just saying.....

[nyslowhand]

Lets see - NY has large unemployment, social programs bankrupting the state, decaying infrastructures, huge budgetary issues, ..... and this politician is concerned with a rural upstate squirrel hunting contest? Or the NY Big Buck contest...really. WTH!

[growalot]

Ohhh no bucks are OK...but you leave them squirrels alone! Oooppsss I Almost forgot those wonderful cute little coyotes...Oh my!! we shouldn't be harming those little beauties

Personally I think we should live trap a bunch of them...then release them in this tools yard

What's next? Regulated seasons on woodchucks? This guy is a moron!

After reading the bill, I'm a bit disappointed.  Here is a link:

The justification as written in the bill looks a bit suspect, and I have to wonder how many people in Auburn are truly concerned about the plight of the crows.
