Wanted to share that our Oregon ballot initiative campaign, which is attempting to place on the 2026 ballot a ban on injuring and killing animals, would ban fishing (along with slaughter, hunting, experimentation, lethal wildlife practices, etc.) We’re hoping that by including fish we bring them into the focus of conversation alongside land animals.
Hi, I think it’s too absolute to prohibit harming and killing animals. Humans need animals to supplement proteins and other organic substances (although some organic substances can be obtained through other means). I do not advocate for a complete ban, nor do I support completely unrestricted slaughter. If possible, I hope to treat these animals in a more humane way. Alternatively, there is a possibility that with future technological advancements, we may not need to eat animals but instead consume lab-grown meat.

If anyone is interested and hasn’t seen it, we made a post a few months ago articulating our theory of change / historical inspiration for our campaign: How can we get the world to talk about animals’ inviolable rights?
