Sunday Hunt ban could lifted in Mass.

A bill filed by Rep. William Strauss, a South Shore Democrat, would allow bow-and-arrow hunting seven days a week during the state’s bow hunting season, which runs from Oct. 20 to Nov. 29. Another bill, filed by Rep. Byron Rushing, a Boston Democrat, would allow rifle or shotgun hunting on Sundays. That legislation also includes provisions to protect pigeons and increases the penalties for “sexual abuse of animals.”

But I do not get what “sexual abuse of animals.” is all about.
