ACTION ALERT: CPW Commission vote on fur ban

[bayoublaster7527]

Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission at March 4, 5 meeting to vote on Center for Biological Diversity petition to eliminate sales of fur statewide. Basically a repeat of the failed voter referendum in Denver during the November 2024 election.

Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management is trying to rally Colorado sportsmen and women to defeat this petition. Email the commission and/or attend the commission meeting in-person if able. Sign up to provide in person or virtual comment against the fur ban petition.

I saw HOWL, RMEF, BHA, and RMBS all have action alerts out to members. Maybe more. Spread the word.

Colorado Commercial Fur Ban - Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management

Colorado Commercial Fur Ban Call to Action: Defend Science-based Mildlife Management in Colorado Outside activist organizations are pressuring the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Commission to bypass science, ignore voters, and impose a commercial fur ban that Colorado has already rejected. A...

I'll be there.

As a group, we have to declare our value to the commission, and by extension, the rest of the state government. We are the advocates; we care more about natural resources than those who want to ban fur sales, ban hunting, and eliminate sportsman as a group.

These are the days to take off work for something that matters. It won't stop at fur sales if we don't show up.

We highly recommend that you attend both days of the meetings!

Do plan to get there early. The auditorium will reach capacity early, and the anti-hunting groups are also planning to pack the house. Even if you can't get in, your presence at the hotel, hotel restaurant, parking lot, where ever is still helpful.

Are here it is, we knew it all along. Samantha Miller of Center for Biological Diversity passing along the support they receive directly from the Governor’s office in their citizen petition fur ban.

I think they have underestimated Colorado sportsmen and women.

I will be --in the hopefully HUGE crowd!!!

Written comments submitted last week. In addition, CPW has identified that the furbearer bag limit proposal is at the behest of the Governor. Quote from the paper, "The bag limit regulations proposed in this issue paper are a priority of the Governor’s Office."

Are they going to eliminate leather? Though I’ll fully admit, and my wife will attest, to not being incredibly bright, I’m pretty sure leather is just fur without the fur.

Don’t underestimate these morons that run this state. They have a super majority and impose their dumbass will upon us every chance they get. There’s people on this board that voted these clowns in then bitch about hunting and gun rights going away.

Governor should stay out of CPW rule-making. Furbearer harvest limits shouldn’t be a “priority” for his office.

Wish he would make better roads and schools, less government regulation, and rising housing costs a “priority”.

Huge thanks to Big Fin and the Fresh Tracks team for using their media to get the word out. Hoping for a big showing this week.

Can I bring traps?

It is worth a try! Not sure what weapon they could consider a trap would be.

A few years back at the City of Denver building, my 2.5"house key was replica of high powered rifle which caused a rift at security.

Below is my detail of the account I posted on FB.

Are you people really this scared? Today the City and county of Denver would not allow me into the building with my keys. If you look closely at my keys you will see one of them, the longest one which is 2 and 1/2inches. This is my house key and is a replica of a high-powered rifle. To any normal barely intelligent individual would know that this is a key and not a high-powered rifle that I will flash around to scare people with. I have been in and out of the City and county of Denver building hundreds of times carrying this set of keys and I never had an issue. But today I was told to lower my voice or to leave the building because I was not going to get in the building with these keys that represented a high-powered rifle. At first I thought it was a joke and I thought I was having a reasonably intelligent conversation, until the security guard said if you had a pistol and removed the magazine and show me that the gun was unloaded it would still be a gun and you would not be allowed inside this building. I replied if I showed you these keys where one of them evidently looks like a high-powered rifle it would still be a two and a half inch house key. At this point he reiterated I needed to lower my voice or leave the building. I left the building I cannot believe that any person on Earth would think that two and a half inch house key is it dangerous deadly weapon. The fear some people must live in is unbelievable.
