Missouri bill targets Kansas mascot

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

On Jan. 17, Republican Missouri Sen. Dan Clemons introduced a new bill into state legislature proposing that the official game bird for the state of Missouri be changed to the Kansas Jayhawk.

Missouri Senate Bill No. 971 is summarized stating, “Currently, the bobwhite quail is selected as the official state game bird. This act changes the official state game bird to the Kansas Jayhawk.”

If the bill is approved, it would be legal to hunt the Kansas Jayhawk, a mythical creature, in the state of Missouri.

Today the Missouri Senate will assemble and there will be a second reading of SB No. 971. This legislation, if approved, would go into effect Aug. 28.
