This pretty much sums up what this guy is about:

VAGUE ATTEMPTS

First it was Iowa and Connecticut. Then, we wrote recently, Texas.

Now, an Assembly bill has been introduced in New York to make hunting a punishable act of animal cruelty. Do we sense a pattern across this country, similar to what has beguiled Britain?

Anti-hunting lawmakers, confirms the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance, are introducing "vague or poorly worded" animal-cruelty legislation in an effort to outlaw hunting. [B]The latest New York bill, introduced by Democratic Assembly member Alexander Grannis,[B] seeks to revise the state's definition of animal cruelty to include "killing or injuring . . . wild game and wild birds."

"The bill creates a contradiction in the law as the state code allows regulated hunting," says Tony Celebrezze, an alliance director. "But the definition of animal cruelty in the bill makes hunting illegal. If (it) becomes law, anti-hunters will have a field day ensuring that sportsmen are prosecuted on animal cruelty charges."

The New York bill mirrors legislation introduced recently in Texas. Similar bills in Iowa and Connecticut were defeated.
