Every person in Maine should have the right to grow, raise, harvest, produce and consume the foods that they choose. Without Question 3 amending the Maine Constitution, those rights are in jeopardy. Without the passage of this referendum, Maine could face dire legislation similar to Initiative Petition 13 which is currently on the ballot in Oregon. That would ban common farming practices, including breeding and harvesting animals for meat. It would further limit hunting, fishing and trapping, making such activities a criminal offense. ~ Rep. Jennifer Poirier, Skowhegan
