I disagree. Collectively, we (State and nationally) countered the "Cats aren't trophies" ballot agenda - part II.Let’s be honest, the same people that voted for wolves are going to vote for them again and the same people that voted against them are going to vote against them again.l and the same people who refused to vote (because they believe that their vote doesn’t count) are going to sit in their freaking chairs and not get out and vote.
I think we know which one of those groups has gotten bigger within the state.
Mallard - I guarantee you that rural Colorado voters will come out in full force unlike they did when this ballot issue was out. Additionally, the whole public is now seeing how jacked up the implementation plan was and is along with the lack of transparency along with the unplanned costs of this disastrous rollout of wolves and lies by the CPW and the Polis team.Let’s be honest, the same people that voted for wolves are going to vote for them again and the same people that voted against them are going to vote against them again.l and the same people who refused to vote (because they believe that their vote doesn’t count) are going to sit in their freaking chairs and not get out and vote.

The other reasonable option might be Colorado legislators freeze general funds for wolf reintroduction and tell CPW to pause any further reintroductions efforts. With a major state budget deficit, it would seem quite ridiculous to divert funds away from public schools, roads, and healthcare to continue this wolf misadventure. But the controlling interests in the General Assembly are pretty extreme these days and the wolf folks have huge amounts of influence compared to everyday Coloradans.
Maybe, but if enough effort and strategy is put forth as was done with prop 127 maybe minds will change. Could be worth a shotLet’s be honest, the same people that voted for wolves are going to vote for them again and the same people that voted against them are going to vote against them again.l and the same people who refused to vote (because they believe that their vote doesn’t count) are going to sit in their freaking chairs and not get out and vote.
