Saving Michigan's Bird of Peace

Mourning doves were protected as traditional backyard songbirds for 100 years in

Michigan. Recent and historic public opinion polls show the majority of Michigan

citizens, including the majority of Michigan hunters, oppose the shooting of

doves in Michigan.

 

On June 18, 2004, after more than 25 years of failed attempts by dove shooting

proponents, a narrow majority of politicians knowingly ignored the will of the

people and established the state's first mourning dove shooting season, allowing

the needless killing of the small birds.

 

On March 28, 2005, the Committee to Restore the Dove Shooting Ban, through a

massive statewide grassroots citizen effort, submitted more than 275,000

signatures from Michigan voters - fully 73% more signatures than the 159,000

required by law for certification.

 

On June 2, 2005, the Board of State Canvassers officially approved the

Committee's petition signatures without a single challenge from anyone, stopping

the shooting of mourning doves in Michigan communities until the next General

Election.

 

On November 7, 2006, voters will decide whether to allow the needless target

shooting of Michigan's official Bird of Peace or restore the state's dove

shooting ban heritage.
