CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

[Islander]

Julie Marshall and Samantha Miller are completely delusional. 55% of voters absolutely rejected their ban on lion hunting. Are they going to dispute the outcome of the election? Maybe claim voter fraud next? How is 11% a “narrow” margin? Proposition 114 was a narrow margin, this is anything but. How do they know why “No” voters rejected their proposition? Maybe because it was poorly written and not well-thought out. Voters likely rejected it for a multitude of reasons. So the CSU Anti-hunting policy center says 88% of Coloradans oppose lion hunting? Then how in the heck did you lose the proposition by 11%? Especially with an $1 million advantage. Are you publicly admitting that you are that bad at campaigning? Why would CPW and the commission take action when the majority of Coloradans rejected it? That is the complete opposite of democracy. That is the same as CPW refusing to implement Prop 114. Unbelievable the conclusions they have drawn.

The gas lighting regarding taking lynx would be enough for me. But whatever the reason, I'm so happy it failed. Could have a profound effect on hunting in other states that might use it as precedent.

Here is an interesting article from Arizona back in 2018. The cat people couldn’t get enough signatures to get their agenda on a ballot! I think there were also some ballot measure restrictions that were also pitfalls in their failure!

If the cats people can’t get enough signatures from the public or there are other road blocks they won’t get these initiatives on ballots!

HSUS Defeated in Push for Arizona Cat Hunting Ban

Falling far short of the number of signatures needed to put a cat hunting ban on the November ballot, HSUS halts its campaign.

This is a big reason why we need business, organizations, and individuals to get involved earlier. Had the signature gathering in CO been combatted earlier, it likely would not have even been on the ballot.

I'm not sure about the legality but can business owners escort those requesting signatures off their private property?
