Colorado: Stop the cruel and needless trophy hunting of mountain lions and bobcats!

[Oak]

Here we go again. Petition

 

[Dsnow9]

I hate seeing those petitions come up. Thanks for posting

 

[TOGIE]

they'd throw the term "trophy hunting" in front for winter time cottontail hunting too if they wanted that outlawed

good grief

If the shoe fits...

Maybe we can petition that the species name be changed to cougar instead and write the definition in a way that could be interpreted differently and get them to outlaw something else entirely

“Those who do it have little to no regard for the animals they hunt.”

Grounds for a libel case if you ask me.

This state is exhausting.

Although not quite as ridiculous as Montana this year.

I'm outraged

Yeah. What are the counter-attack options? Because this is serious. The ballot initiatives bypass representative government. And as more folks live in urban/suburban settings, there's an increasing opportunity to weaponize the ignorance of the masses.

 

[HighDesertSage]

Good grief.

Well they can't write an article about our "first Gentleman" without mentioning

"Reis, an animal advocate" and writer,

The insanity is not going to end for some time

I’m trying to figure out who is a bigger threat to hunting...Montana’s governor or Colorado/New Mexico liberals.

I guess the petition drafter did not read this true book, based in Colorado:

The Beast in the Garden: The True Story of a Predator's Deadly Return to Suburban America by David Baron.​

May I summarize? Friendly, little Colorado town thinks deer in neighborhoods are just so cute.

Puppy dogs start missing. Huge, wild, feline carnivores a.k.a. Pumas, begin hanging out on people’s decks and driveways. High school jogger doesn’t return from afternoon run. Massive search finds deceased teenager. Police shoot lion nearby.

Citizens shocked. Politicians appalled. Journalists have another story. All happened around 1985, if I remember.

Here we go again. Trying to manage nature with emotion and not science to hopefully appease their morale vanity until another child gets killed and eaten. Sad!

I love living in the great state of Colofornia.

 

[elkduds]

I'm standing by to sign the petition to repeal the petition to introduce wolves.

 

[Muley_Stalker]

I wonder how the tree huggers feel about deer? A cougar eats one adult deer a week. Times how many cats? That's a lot of deer and deer herds are at an all time low right now.

I'm glad I don't have these jerks near me. They all live in the Denver area. Pretty soon they'll start calling it the new LA.

They have yet to lose a hand, they have a sleeve full of aces, why would they not bump up the pot? Have any of you read P.A.U.S.E on the ag end of the spectrum. That makes this one look like a dose of moderation. Here is where I would post a link if I was not so dumb...

PAUSE: Ballot initiative to criminalize husbandry practices would cost consumers, limit food availability

A ballot initiative proposed, currently known as Protect Animals from Unnecessary Suffering and Exploitation (PAUSE), is awaiting an appearance before the title board after being filed with the Colorado Secretary of State. Proponents Alexander Sage…

PAUSE

 

[Dinkshooter]

Remember the MeatOut Day controversy? That's nothing compared to a proposed ballot initiative.

The proposed ballot measure would make ranchers wait to slaughter animals until they are older, which ranchers say would devastate Colorado’s agriculture economy.
