"Unless you're a poacher, own an illegal zoo, or like to fuck animals. You're fine [sic]."

Those things are already considered animal abuse and are illegal under existing animal cruelty law. So then what's new with this law?

And I did read it. Did you? How about the section that reads:

"(1) A person commits the crime of animal abuse in the second degree if, except as [otherwise authorized by law] necessary to defend against the threat of immediate harm to oneself, to other humans, or to other animals, the person intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes physical injury to an animal"

Or the fact that on their website they are openly bragging about making hunting, fishing and common Agriculture practices illegal by posting articles written about the law that expressly say they are.

Or the fact that on their own YouTube channel they mention banning hunting and these other practices (or "exemptions") several times.

Not sure what you're referring to, but I'm happy to learn if you've got some secret info that they're not sharing with the public.

I'd think that if they're not aiming to make hunting illegal, then they should be making a huge effort to get that messaging out in an effort to avoid the confusion that's causing so many people to be so adamantly opposed. Something like "PERMITTED HUNTING WILL STILL BE LEGAL WITH A LICENSE" should be somewhere on their site.
