Animals do not get a vote in November. Coloradans do.
Hunting and fishing are already legal. Yet Amendment 83 would create a constitutional right to hunt, fish, and "harvest" wildlife by "traditional methods," and make hunting and fishing the state's "preferred means" of managing wildlife.
The measure is part of a national campaign backed by major trophy hunting groups including the Wisconsin-based International Order of T. Roosevelt and Safari Club
International. Colorado doesn't need an imported constitutional preference for killing. We can work with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, speak at public meetings, and press for habitat protection, coexistence, and other solutions suited to the animals involved. A NO vote keeps those choices open.
Vote NO on Amendment 83.
