- 1Amendment 83 Could Reverse Colorado's Trapping and Bear Baiting Ban▼Amendment 83 Could Bring Back Steel-Jawed Leghold Traps, Bear Baiting, Wildlife-Killing Contests in Colorado
Animal welfare groups warn that Amendment 83, a ballot measure in Colorado, could roll back protections approved by voters in 2024 that banned steel-jawed leghold traps, bear baiting and wildlife-killing contests. The Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy are campaigning against the measure, arguing it would reopen cruel practices that Coloradans already rejected at the polls.
