In this episode of Before the Echo, I break down Oregon Initiative Petition 28 (IP28), also known as the PEACE Act. Supporters say the proposal is about expanding animal protections, while opponents argue it would remove legal exemptions that currently protect hunting, fishing, trapping, farming, livestock production, and other activities under Oregon's animal cruelty statutes. We discuss: • What IP28 actually says • Why hunters across America are paying attention • The 120,000+ signatures submitted to qualify for the ballot • Potential impacts on conservation funding • Wildlife management concerns • Why this debate extends far beyond Oregon • What hunters can do to get involved Whether you support or oppose the proposal, I encourage everyone to read the initiative for yourself and understand both sides of the issue. 👇 TAKE ACTION & LEARN MORE 👇 🦌 Oregon Hunters Association (OHA) https://oregonhunters.org/initiative-petition-28-2/ 🌾 Oregon Farm Bureau – No on IP28 https://ofbaction.org/no-on-ip28/ 🎣 Northwest Steelheaders https://northweststeelheaders.org/ KEY FACTS • Required signatures: 117,173 • Signatures submitted: 120,000+ • Current status: Signature verification • Potential vote: November 2026 ballot (if certified) What do you think?
