Letter to the editor: Opponents spreading falsehoods about Measure 5
I am voting “yes” on Measure 5, which would make cruelty to dogs, cats and horses a felony in certain cases. More than 200 North Dakota volunteers gathered 25,000 signatures, double what was needed to get it on our ballot. Much misinformation about Measure 5 is being spread by some large groups inside and outside of North Dakota. Here is the truth about Measure 5.

Letter to the editor: Measure 5 will only protect animals in North Dakota
I encourage you all to look at the real reason behind Measure 5. Ignore claims that a “no” vote will protect hunting and fishing. It is propaganda that is preventing progress.

Letter to the editor: HSUS will use Measure 5 to hurt N.D. agriculture
I am urging everyone to vote “no” on Measure 5. Measure 5 concerns extreme cruelty to dogs, cats and horses. This sounds good, but there is more to this initiated measure than just the good of dogs, cats and horses.

Letter to the editor:Measure 5 would endanger North Dakota's way of life
I am a local rancher and feedlot manager and am extremely concerned with what the consequences could be if Measure 5 is passed. It is extremely important that we educate our family and friends about the measure. Measure 5 is poorly worded, could have unintended consequences, and will be nearly impossible to amend if problems arise.
