Roadside hunting in Robeson County may soon become illegal. 
The state Senate has voted to ban the popular activity and the  Wildlife 
Resources Commission is backing it. 
“We call them outlaw hunters. They are the ones causing  problems,” said 
roadside hunting opponent, Ray Smith. 
Hunters can often be seen on the side the road with their guns  and hunting 
dogs. 
Often their activity scares drivers and those who live in the  area. 
But the new bill would bring an end to those fears. 
“It prohibits anyone from hunting, taking, or killing any wild  game or wild 
bird from the roadway, right-a-away or crossover,” said Wildlife  Resources 
Commission member, John Pechmann. 
If the bill passes in the House, those who violate the new  regulations will 
have to pay a pretty stiff penalty. 

They could be fined  of up to $300, lose of their hunting license, and serve 
possible jail time.

No Fishing Because fish have a brain, a central  nervous system, and pain 
receptors, they can feel pain just like cats, dogs, and  humans. Just because 
they can't scream doesn't mean that they are not in pain.  Also, other animals, 
like birds, often strangle or choke to death on lost hooks  and lines. - PETA
