Anti-Hunters Attempt to End All Hunting on Cape Cod- (11/20)

Anti-hunting groups are seeking to amend their recently filed lawsuit in an attempt to end all hunting on Cape Cod National Seashore. In their original case, only pheasant hunting was targeted.





Yesterday, animal rights groups including the Fund for Animals, Humane Society of the United States and Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals amended their legal complaint to ban pheasant hunting on Cape Cod to include all hunting on the 43,000-acre national recreational area.





In early October, animal rights groups asked for a temporary restraining order to immediately stop this season’s pheasant hunt. United States District Court Judge Patti Saris rejected the anti’s request. The latest tactic may have been in response to that loss.





The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation is a defendant intervenor in the case, working to protect outdoor sports on this federal land holding. A loss of hunting at Cape Cod could affect hunting on federal land across the nation. Joining the Foundation in the case are the Massachusetts Sportsmen’s Council Inc., Barnstable County League of Sportsmen’s Clubs and sportsman Michael Veloza of Manomet, Massachusetts.





“This suit is the latest action in Massachusetts by these groups whose goal it is to stop hunting,” said Wayne MacCallum, Director of Massachusetts Fish and Wildlife. “The past has shown us that if they win at places like Cape Cod, they will not stop there.”





Thousands of sportsmen hunt deer, upland game and migratory waterfowl on Cape Cod National Seashore each year. Seasons mirror those that are in effect across Massachusetts.





Additional information is forthcoming from the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation on this issue.





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.

That would be real smart. Take a look a Prudence Island. There are so many deer that you can't have a garden or even flowers on your deck. The deer are so full of ticks you can't go into the woods without getting Lyme disease. Can't even have a dog over there with all the ticks. Although it maybe good to protect the water fowl at the seashore. I could never see the point of shooting sea ducks, seems like a waste to kill something you can't eat.

Duke people do eat sea ducks.

Unfortunately you're right. It's only a matter of time before you see organized protests at the party boat docks and all the other antics PETA et. al. carry on.

Another example, if you have not seen this first hand! Cranes Beach, Ma. “All foliage and shrubs” below five and a half feet eaten, no plant life lives below this line because it has been eaten! The bushes looked like they were trimmed by a mad man with electrical hedge trimmers. The deer on the Island were in constant movement trying to find food to feed them selves. The deer are so thin; you could see their rib cage bulging out! There peltes looked terrible! A lot of unnecessary suffering going on here! And young deer not tall enough to reach the foliage on their hind legs starve to death! I guess these folks would be ok with this situation! I would suggest that the these people who only eat veggies, ware no leather, have and do not touch or come in contact with any thing that falls in the meat, mammal or bird by products category do this! Sit down at a table with a plate of food of their choice, and a loaded handgun.
Do not eat the food, just look at it! Replace the food to keep it fresh daily! See how long it takes for your will power to succumb to your hunger! When you can not take it any longer, remove the plate! Not using any money, begging, or pleading of food, go and get some! O” by the way, you cant use the gun as any kind of a trade! Your only means of doing so is by using the gun on themselves or some one else. I am sure they would use it on them selves before they would use it to take any thing or ones life! I guess they do not know that the Veggies and Fruit put in front of them is still alive having been trimmed off of what ever, as it sits in front of them on there plate!
Later!

I eat sea ducks and hunt near some the areas mentioned. What the problem with sea ducks? I don't eat bluefish, they're nasty
