Amendment 83 Could Relegalize Leghold Traps and Bear Baiting in Colorado
Original: Amendment 83 Could Bring Back Steel-Jawed Leghold Traps, Bear Baiting, Wildlife-Killing Contests In Colorado
Colorado's Amendment 83 would roll back protections enacted by Proposition 114, potentially relegalizing cruel and unsporting practices including steel-jawed leghold traps, bear baiting, and wildlife-killing contests in the state. Animal welfare advocates, including the group Animal Wellness Action, are warning voters about the measure's consequences for wildlife, urging them to consider which cruel practices could return if the amendment passes.
Why now: Colorado voters are weighing Amendment 83 on the ballot, and animal welfare groups are mobilizing opposition to it.
