1) we need a by Anonymous Citizen on January 31, 2007 state bird of peace just about as much as a chicken needs a root canal.

3) No! by Anonymous Citizen on January 31, 2007 I am a hunter, and I disagree with this. We are trying to re-establish a hunting season for doves in Michigan, and this would just be ammo for organizations like the HSUS and PETA to use against our cause. Besides, why would we need a state bird of peace? Other than trying to stop the hunting season?
