ACTION ALERT: CPW Commission vote on fur ban

[winmag]

This commission completely disregards biological science in favor of social science. They made no attempt to hide this. They looked CPW in the face and said no, we know better than you biologists, and we'll do as we please.

This is extremely disappointing. But we, as the residents of CO, have to continue fighting to uphold our proud and historic traditions of hunting and trapping. It’s easy to think the fight is over, but it’s not. Polis is term limited. The next governor will likely be more friendly to sportsman. There are Democratic state legislators, like Dylan Roberts, on our side. We can’t give up based on this set back. We can’t give up based on any setback. We have to keep fighting for our rights. And for our Children’s rights. History will be on our side.

Agreed. We need to bring it up at every commission meeting, never let it go. Also use this as a data point to fight every single commission appointment in the state senate.

Why do we even have an agency with biologists if thy are just going to be ignored by the commission? It’s crazy.

Whats ironic - itd have been a lot better if they did ban the sale of antlers and not fur.

Time to practice civil disobedience like Rosa parks to the CO residents. Time to lead a petition of wardens to refuse to enforce or investigate the regulation. How many trappers could be realistically trapped if they kept trapping animals with their traps that are effective for trapping. Then dispose of the animals but charge a recycle fee that is arbitrarily linked to a recycling market that ensures continued enjoyment of a recycled organic byproduct.
