Election season is in full swing and I want to be sure you know about an important ballot measure that voters like you are deciding on. The measure is Proposition 127<\/strong><\/a> and it is asking voters to make the moral decision<\/strong> about whether or not we should allow trophy hunting and trapping of mountain lions, bobcats, and lynx.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Right now, outfitters and hunters are allowed to hunt these animals using packs of dogs with GPS collars and even drones that chase down a mountain lion until it finally retreats up into a tree.<\/strong> Once the outfitters and hunters catch up to the trapped and exhausted lion they shoot it out of the tree for a photo and a wall mount used as a decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly bobcats are allowed to be trapped with live traps in freezing cold weather<\/strong> where eventually they are bludgeoned to death<\/strong> for their fur. These furs are often exported to China where markets exist. On top of that, it only costs about $35 to be able to capture and kill as many bobcats as a person wants to, it is unlimited!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colorado voters have a record of ending barbaric and disrespectful practices through the ballot. Voters approved a very similar measure in 1992, Amendment 10, that banned the same brutal practice of using dogs to hunt bears. It also prohibited spring hunts and the use of bait to hunt bears. Back then that measure passed with 70% of the vote!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Endangered Species Coalition supports Prop 127.<\/strong> We think its passage will treat our wildlife with the respect and value that is deserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please visit Cats Aren\u2019t Trophies<\/a>, the organizers of Prop 127 for more information and make sure you vote on or before November 5th!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank You,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
