Rep Phillips On His NO Vote
"This bill
does nothing to improve the non-hunting public's perspective
of hunting. In fact it casts hunters in a bad light and is damaging
to their image. The vast majority of the Michigan public views
the mourning dove as a songbird, not a target for hunting. Mourning
doves are enjoyed by millions of residents in their backyards.
Just because these birds are hunted elsewhere is no reason for
them to be hunted in Michigan. According to a public opinion
survey by EPIC/MRA, a majority of the State's residents, including
54% of hunters surveyed, opposed the hunting of mourning doves.
There are plenty of other species for hunters to shoot in Michigan."
