2024 Ballot Initiative Seeks to Ban Colorado Mountain Lion Hunting

[RandySF]

In the seemingly never-ending battle over Colorado mountain lion hunting, the decision may go to the hands of the voters.

n the wake of Colorado lawmakers rejecting a proposal to ban mountain lion hunting last year, animal rights advocates are now gearing up to put the issue in the hands of voters. A proposed ballot measure slated for the November 2024 election aims to prohibit the hunting, trapping, and use of dogs or electronic devices to hunt mountain lions, bobcats, or Canadian lynx.

At the core of this proposal is a call for voters to declare that hunting these wildcats “serves no socially acceptable or ecologically beneficial purpose and fails to further public safety.“

The initiative has garnered support from approximately 50 animal advocacy groups.

1. I hope it passes

2. Leave them alone. If a larger cat population decreases the deer population

naturally, they can decrease the number of deer permits for hunters. Cat and deer hunting is not necessary for man's survival. Coexist
