Governor Polis just appointed Nicole Rosmarino to be the Director of the Colorado State Land Board. Rosmarino is well-known in the animal rights activism community here in Colorado. She is heavily involved in the Rewilding movement and former wildlife program manager for WildEarth Guardians. She also led the radical Rocky Mountain Animal Defense group previously.

What is most troubling and shocking is Rosmarino’s advocacy and endorsement of eco-terrorism and open intimidation of public officials. In 1998, Colorado’s own Vail Mountain was site of the most destructive act of environmental sabotage and eco-terrorism in U.S. history, more than $12 million in damage, ravaging the ski slopes that so many Coloradans adore. The perpetrators, from Environmental Liberation Front/Animal Liberation Front, even threatened Colorado skiers who would dare continue to patronize Vail Mountain. Rosmarino publicly celebrated this act of eco-terrorism and even encouraged others to openly commit arson and destroy public and private property in the name of resistance. Below are a few direct quotes from Rosmarino made to media outlets regarding the 1998 attack:

The arson—or forest restoration—glows as the most effective act of economic sabotage ever to grace Colorado. It is cause for celebration. Let’s shake off those desires to have a seat at the table, be media darlings, build our memberships. Let’s release ourselves from all of that, roll up our sleeves and get down to the dirty work of resistance.

It was one of the most beautiful acts of economic sabotage ever in this state,” says Nicole Rosmarino of the fire. A self-proclaimed “bunny hugger,” the RMAD activist says she was “jumping up and down with delight” when she heard the news. After Cat III’s opponents exhausted every legal avenue, she says, “there was nothing left to do but break the law. I was ready to do acts of civil disobedience to slow down the loggers, but what transpired was more effective than anything I was prepared to do.”

Rosmarino lauded the arsonists as “heroes,”


It is clear that Rosmarino celebrates the idea of committing criminal acts and would continue on a trend of intimidation during her time leading the radical group Rocky Mountain Animal Defense (RMAD). In January 2001, Rosmarino led a group of RMAD members who verbally assaulted and intimidated Colorado Wildlife Commission Chairman Bernard Black and his wife at a commission meeting. Commission spokesman recounted multiple instances of activists screaming at commissioners. One RMAD member even called for a “lynch mob” against the commission and Chairman Black, who is black.

I would think this appointment would receive significant pushback from the production agriculture community as they likely have the most to lose with grazing leases on state trust land. Doesn't bode well for CPW leases of state trust land for hunting and fishing either.

Well, elections have consequences. One can only assume , by electing the governor that they did, that the people of Colorado support this sort of thing .
 
Sad to watch CO being lost in real time. Watched WA state first..progressive politics are shockingly regressive when it comes to conservation
 
Liberal democrats and the male governor’s male husband who is anti hunting. It’s the governor’s male wife’s agenda. HE/SHE is also the one who pushed through the introduction of wolves too!!!
I had twenty good years in Colorado before it turned into a liberal shit hole. Any one who votes democratic gets what you deserve.
 
I think a variation of Sam's take of "Move where the food is." to all the starving Etheipians
is warranted: Move where the libtards aren't. :ROFLMAO:

Okay, okay, I know it's not quite that simple, but there is a price to pay for practially even choice we make and yours is dear for sure.

Good luck,

Eddie

What if the libtards moved to you. I’m 35 and old enough to remember when the only blue cities were Denver and boulder….

I agree it can be complicated, but moving is still an option even if it's not easy solution.

And anything easy is seldom excellent.

But if we don't vote for them, we will lose our public lands.
Lol... the irony is not lost on me.

Sadly, no one in a historically red state knows how bad the modern left is until they have total control. People that lean left in MT, WY, ID, etc are insulated from the real effects of progressive policies.

I lived it, it is hell on Earth.
