AR-News: (US) Governor Approves Dove Hunting for 6 Michigan Counties

[animalconcerns at fastmail.us]

[from Field and Stream]

Friday, Granholm signed a bill to remove a 99-year ban on dove hunting
by allowing the National Resources Commission to schedule a dove season
in six counties, the Detroit Free Press reported. After a three-year
pilot program, the NRC will decide whether or not to expand the season
statewide.
...
Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society, said he felt "disgusted"
by Granholm’s decision and has no doubt that the NRC will expand the
hunting season across the state after three years. "This is simply a
two-step process for statewide dove hunting," he said. "Literally
millions of birds will suffer and die as a consequence of her signing
this bill."
