Coloradans: Vote Yes on Proposition 127
Ballots are on their way to the mailboxes of Colorado voters! And this year, the lives of mountain lions, bobcats, and Canada Lynx are on the ballot.
Currently, the lives of nearly 500 mountain lions and thousands of bobcats are inhumanely ended each year in our state. Proposition 127, if passed, would protect mountain lions, bobcats, and Canada Lynx from cruel and inhumane trophy hunting and fur trapping in Colorado.
We need your help in voting YES on Proposition 127 and encouraging your fellow Coloradans to do the same.
Proposition 127 is critical to:
-
- End the cruelty of hound hunting mountain lions and bobcats.
- Stop the unlimited fur trapping of bobcats for commercial gain.
- Stop this unnecessary lethal killing that can cause increased conflict with people, companion animals, and farmed animals.
