What God hath given, will PETA take away? Not in Kansas
TOPEKA | Is there a constitution-protected, God-given right to hunt, fish and trap?
There is in Nebraska and 15 other states, but Kansas and Missouri are not among them.
That would change in Kansas under a measure given first-round approval today by the Kansas House: A constitutional amendment that would guarantee the God-given right to hunt, fish and trap. If it gets a two-thirds vote today and the Senate acts later, then the resolution could go to Kansas voters in November.
Are these outdoor activities being threatened?
Rep. John Grange, an El Dorado Republican, said hunting and fishing are under attack by animal rights groups like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Are they rights given by God?
Well, lawmakers can point to a passage in the book of Genesis in which God gave man “dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air and all living things that move on the earth.”
I guess lawmakers are just doing the Lord's work.
