So the anti-hunters have been pushing this line about an “out of state” interest group funding an effort to forever protect hunting and fishing as the preferred means of responsibly and humanely managing Colorado’s wildlife.
The hypocrisy on this lark is laughable at best and the double standard is appalling.
Here’s the facts:
Let’s talk about double standards.
National anti-hunting groups poured over $3.4 million into the 2024 Colorado cat-hunting ban (Prop 127) — including more than $1 million from D.C.-based Animal Wellness Action and hundreds of thousands more from out-of-state outfits like the Center for a Humane Economy, Big Cat Rescue (Florida), and the Mountain Lion Foundation (California). They hired paid signature gatherers and ran a full national-style campaign to ban mountain lion and bobcat hunting.
The same network has kept pushing in Colorado for nearly a decade — fur-sale bans, commission pressure, and more radical restrictions. Barely a peep from the media about “out-of-state money” then.
Now 184,000 Coloradans sign a petition to simply protect the right to hunt and fish that generations have enjoyed, backed by a coalition of more than 60 in-state hunting, fishing, and conservation groups… and suddenly we’re the outsiders?
Coloradans invited us to help defend their heritage. That’s exactly what the International Order of T. Roosevelt and our advocacy arm T. Roosevelt Action does.
We partner with local hunters, anglers, and outdoor advocates in every state that asks — because protecting hunting and fishing rights isn’t “out of state.” It’s American. And it’s clearly stated mission - direct from the legacy of our namesake Teddy Roosevelt.
The radical anti-hunting and fishing agenda has been here for a decade. We’re just finally answering the call.
Don’t be fooled…Stay Calm CO and VOTE YES on 84!
