The threat to humans is not the issue here... mountain lions are decimating our population of elk and deer and other non predatory species.
Hunting mountain lions allows proper control of this growing mountain lion population so we are not putting even more pressure on already declining deer and elk populations. Hunters also are legally required in colorado to use the resources from any animal they kill. The meat and the carcass all gets used.
By voting no on 127 you help protect all CO species
If you vote yes on 127 then mountain lions will continue to grow in population and the deer and elk will have even more predators. Also the smaller amount of mountain lions that will get killed by a private organization - the carcasses will be dumped and disposed of with no use or respect for what the animal provided.
Also Reminder those hunting mountain lions are NOT trophy hunting as many are trying to spin the proposition. Trophy hunting has been illegal in colorado since the 1970s. Trophy hunting means killing an animal and not taking the meat - just taking the "trophy" for a mount... This is illegal in colorado.
