ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Could Oregon’s IP 28 fundamentally change hunting, fishing, ranching, and animal agriculture in the state?
In this episode of Oregon Discussion, Mike McLane and Shelly Boshart-Davis sit down with Lauren Kuenzi from the Oregon Farm Bureau to break down Initiative Petition 28, also known as the “PEACE Act.”
The conversation covers what the measure would actually do, how it changes Oregon’s animal cruelty laws, and why agriculture groups, hunting organizations, and rural communities are raising alarm.
Topics include:
- What IP 28 actually changes in Oregon law
- How the measure impacts farming and ranching
- Hunting and fishing concerns
- Artificial insemination and livestock practices
- Oregon’s agriculture economy
- Regulatory pressure on family farms
- Measure 110 comparisons and unintended consequences
- Oregon’s urban-rural divide
- Why coalition groups are mobilizing early
Guest: Lauren Kuenzi — Government & Political Affairs Director, Oregon Farm Bureau
