Really bad news for retriever people in PA!

Megan

How does this hurt retriever people? I think it is going after pigeon shoots and turkey shoots, where the live turkey is in a block and you try to hit it with a rifle. It might hurt pointer trainers if they use a release trap. The other thing is the part about fowl, excluding game birds? Who is the sponsor and when does it come up for a vote?

Pen raised ducks would be under this thats how it harms retriever people. The sponsors of the bill are listed right at the top under the Bill number. Glad to see there is nothing more important going on in the world that these are the kind of bills that are getting the attention of Lawmakers.

So, hand throw the birds. (But I agree that there are more important issues these days. I am getting tired of legislators taking the name a bit too seriously).

This bill apparently has been around for several years and at the end of every session, it dies....only to be re-introduced in the next session.

An attorney and a member of the PA Dog Law Advisory Board says that the hunters and sportsmen are well-organized and active and don't let it get very far.
