MEASURE 100
(Oregon Wildlife Trafficking Prevention):
YES

With measure 100, Oregonians are asked whether to ban the sale of animal parts from 12 endangered animals: rhinoceroses, cheetahs, tigers, sea turtles, lions, elephants, whales, sharks, pangolins(!), jaguars, rays, and leopards.

And because youโ€™re not a soulless asshole who believes your desire to display the dead body parts of an endangered animal on your wall is more important than protecting endangered animals, you should vote โ€œyes,โ€ like voters in California and Washington recently have for similar measures.

There are exemptionsโ€”like for antiques that are more than 100 years oldโ€”that make sense. Plus, the NRA opposes measures like this, saying a ban on the sale of ivory would unfairly โ€œdestroy the value of property held by countless gun owners.โ€ Good. Fuck โ€™em.
