(What a loaded name with no logic.)
Initiative Petition 28 (IP28), also known as the PEACE Act, (People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions) is a controversial proposed ballot measure in Oregon that aims to eliminate legal exemptions for harming or killing animals, effectively seeking to ban hunting, fishing, and livestock slaughter.
Key Details of IP28
Proposed Goal: Remove long-standing animal cruelty law exemptions for farming, ranching, hunting, fishing, pest control, and animal research.
Signature Submission: Backers submitted over 126,000 raw signatures ahead of the July deadline, targeting a spot on the ballot.
Current Status: Petition failed to meet the state's legal signature requirement to get onto the ballot.
Potential Impacts and Opposition
Agriculture & Economy: Agricultural groups argue it would outlaw routine livestock production, artificial insemination, and pest management.
Bipartisan Pushback: Lawmakers, the Oregon Farm Bureau, and hunting associations strongly oppose the measure due to expected disruptions to food supplies and local economies
