Oregon bans sale of animal parts

[Matthew Gregory]

My brother Ben just brought this to my attention, and I'd say it's pertinent to all makers...

Another piece of poorly written legislation that will effect me and the knife community as a whole.
Looks like come June 30th 2017 Stingray and shark will be off the menu for my knives.

Must protect the mammoths. They're nearly extinct.

ETA: well I should have read the law first. I assume it was "all" animal parts. Because, well, Portland.

Measure 100 banned the sale of products and parts of 12 types of animals in Oregon: elephant, rhinoceros, whale, tiger, lion, leopard, cheetah, jaguar, pangolin, sea turtle, ray, and shark, except the spiny dogfish. The measure exempted certain activities and commodities from the ban, including law enforcement activities, activities expressly authorized by state or federal law, antiques more than 100 years old, fixed components of musical instruments, transfers by inheritance, donations for scientific or education purposes, and parts possessed by enrolled members of Indian tribes. Violating Measure 100 is punishable by a civil penalty up to $6,500 or twice the prohibited product's value, whichever is greater.[1]

Darn... I'm going to miss those Oregonian Tiger Burgers

Now, it seems that using them on musical instruments is potentially allowable, so maybe if you tape a little slide whistle on the pommel of the knife, you'll be covered!
Just try not to stab yourself in the eye when you're rockin' out a sweet slide whistle solo....

Yes. Still would not have been a surprise.

As someone that lives in Oregon I can tell you they don't. Unfortunately a couple of liberal cities control the entire state.

Awesome. Getting out of Cali was one of the best things I ever did. Now I can just look on and laugh.

A "yes" vote supported prohibiting the sale of products and parts of 12 types of animals in Oregon: rhino, cheetah, tiger, sea turtle, lion, elephant, whale, shark, pangolin, jaguar, ray, and leopard.

Eating a lot of the Cheetah burgers, are you? Personally, being a member of People Eating Tasty Animals, I stick to beef for burgers.

I have seen shark skin shoes.
