HB3390 would ban the sale and trade of fur and fur products in our state. It is being pushed by the same out-of-state interests that got the identical fur ban passed in California.
I had assumed that the introduced bill would never make it out of committee but I was wrong, they pulled a fast one on us and put it in the Economics/Business committee where our side doesn't have much influence, and it is now headed to the Judiciary committee where a hearing will be held on March 30th.
Indifference is the enemy. Members of the Judiciary need to get inundated with emails urging them to not move this bill forward. This is a cultural war being waged against our way of life. No wonder nine counties in eastern-southern Oregon want to secede from the state.
This is the latest strategy of the anti movement to end trapping in our country and will likely be coming to your state sooner or later as well.
You can help by taking the time to send a short (polite) message to members of the Judiciary committee urging them to stop this bill in its tracks.
I have taken a couple of screen shots of how to email the committee.

If you look at how the chair has his email address all of the other members are set up the same way with their first and last name and then the rest of the addy.

BTW, this fur ban would include Meps fishing lures (Squirrel tails) and any hats that use beaver felt (a fur product).
Thanks in advance to all that love our way of life and can take a few moments to help out!
