HOWL Update: What We can Learn from CO 127 and Banning Cat Hunting

[Howl For Wildlife]

Ballot Box Biology suffered a stunning blow in Colorado. With over half of voters saying no, Proposition 127 has been soundly defeated. Wildlife experts are the ones who should be making decisions on what’s best for wildlife, not initiatives like this. CATS Aren’t Trophies and their like are not done and will continue to chip away at hunting’s heritage. We can celebrate this victory now and also evaluate how we achieved it, and how we can do more.

More on this here.

I GREATLY appreciate all the different groups that jumped in. It would seem the time is here for our own ballot - I'm unsure if the groups involved are willing or able to jump in with a constitutional amendment for CO Hunt/Fish/Harvest, but we don't have an excess of time if we want to get it on the ballot next year.

I said it elsewhere and I'll say it again, if we don't get the right and protection from appointees, we may very well need our own ballot box biology measures to undo the anti measures.

Nothing stopping hunters and hunting orgs from using the initiative process, but there’s always an excuse why they don’t.
