The recent lawsuit to allow Sunday hunting is based on the new right-to-food constitutional amendment that voters passed last November. It is remarkable how this even came to pass. The right-to-food amendment was not only unnecessary, it was defective, vague, misleading even in its title, failed to consider the unintended consequences and provided no sense of real need, especially to amend our state Constitution. The Legislature, instead of executing its responsibility to pass thoughtful legislation, provided Maine voters little time or recourse to properly understand and defeat an extremely flawed referendum. ~ Robert Fisk Jr., Maine Friends of Animals, Falmouth
