Colorado Considers Statewide Fur Ban Despite Public Opposition

A recent public meeting in Denver saw a contentious debate over a proposed fur ban in Colorado, with the majority of attendees opposing the measure. Despite this, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission voted to move the proposal forward, sparking concerns among hunters and wildlife managers. The ban would outlaw the sale, barter, or trade of wildlife furs and furbearer parts statewide, prompting worries about the impact on science-based wildlife management.
