Summary
A radical animal protection petition in Oregon is on the brink of collapse after its first signature review failed—only 804 out of 1,000 signatures were valid, falling short of the legal threshold. If it doesn’t pass a second, larger review by early August, it’ll be the first time in years Oregon voters won’t see a citizen-led initiative on the ballot. The petition, backed by vegan activists and aiming to ban nearly all animal harm except for self-defense or veterinary care, gathered over 142,000 signatures—more than enough to qualify—but strict verification rules could still sink it.
