Why Vote No on Amendment 2?
Quote from World Animal Protection
"This dangerous and misleading amendment will strip Florida citizens of their power to protect and conserve wild animals. It’s designed to trick voters into allowing some of the cruelest forms of hunting and prevent citizens, scientists, and agencies from protecting wildlife in the future. World Animal Protection says a resounding “no” to Amendment 2."
Amendment 2 is a threat to Private Property Rights
It threatens to enable hunters to trespass onto your property in pursuit of the animals they want to kill.
Amendment 2 is a threat to Wildlife
Even though the planet has lost 69% of its wildlife over the past 50 years, this amendment would create a fundamental right in the Florida Constitution to Hunt and Fish using "traditional methods."
Amendment 2 is a threat to Marine Populations
This ill-advised amendment could be used to override protections for fish stocks such as effectively nullifying the prohibition on Gill Nets that are a wall of death in the sea.
