Monday February 9, 3:26 pm ET 
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fund for Animals, a national 
animal protection organization with 9,000 members and active supporters in 
Pennsylvania, is urging representatives to oppose H.B. 1512, a joint resolution 
proposing to amend the state constitution to grant residents of Pennsylvania the 
"right" to hunt. H.B. 1512 was just released from Appropriations Committee.

The constitution is a sacred document which shouldn't be used as a graffiti 
wall for political rhetoric," said Heidi Prescott, National Director of The 
Fund for Animals. "To establish constitutional protections for recreational 
pursuits such as hunting is not only inappropriate, but redundant. Nearly a million 
people already hunt in Pennsylvania without having that 'right' enshrined in 
the constitution."
