Joey Jones slams Oregon hunting ban petition as ‘worse’ than ‘suicidal empathy’
‘ Joey Jones weighs in on Oregon’s controversial petition to ban hunting and fishing. Jones argues such policies are ‘worse’ than ‘suicidal empathy’ and a complete detachment from the realities of human interaction with nature. He highlights how active wildlife management, including hunting, supports thriving animal populations like deer and quail, benefiting the ecosystem and local economies, including ranchers.
