BBC Submits Comment on Sunday Hunting Proposal

The Brookline Bird Club submitted a comment to MassWildlife opposing a proposal to change state law to allow Sunday hunting.

The Club does not take a position on hunting overall. Our concern is with potential limits placed on the use and enjoyment of open space by those who do not hunt. Our position is that the current rule allowing hunting six days a week should remain in place.

Comments are due on February 5 at 5PM – you can submit comments here.
