"He has, for example, helped to prevent the legalization of dove hunting in Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota."
In Maine put a measure on the 2008 November Ballot to make it a crime to hunt bears with bait, traps, or dogs.
Wants to outlaw hunting private stock.
While most environmental and animal groups applaud increasing the populations of birds, Wayne has led the fight against state Pheasant Stocking Programs.
Fights against the hunting of Mourning Doves in Minnesota.
Against hound hunting of cougars in Washington State.
Against hunting on private lands in New York: "The size of the enclosure does not matter. Whether 10 acres or 1,000 acres, the animal selected by the customer has no chance for escape." They call it "canned hunts" to make an easier sell to the public.
