#101 is gone according to the Secretary of States office. Listed under ballot initiatives "Withdrawn". Digging into it, the petitioner's (Dan Gates, the good guy in this case) motion to dismiss was unopposed by the respondents (Samantha Bruegger and Jeffrey Hersh).
#91 appears to be where they are putting all of the their money. Link below as to where that money is coming from. Spoiler alert...I know you'll be shocked to hear that the bulk of the money is coming from out of state animal rights organizations. One of the other contributors is Pat Craig the owner of The Wild Animal Sanctuary. Look into that one-he believes it's in the best interest of "Wild" animals to live inside pens outside of their native habitat. He's a "collector" of animals. A glorified cat lady, ala Carole Baskin of Tiger King fame who has also written editorials to our local papers in support of this initiative.
The petition format has been approved and they have until 07/05/2024 to turn their petition in for inclusion on the November ballot. Expect to see folks outside grocery stores in front range population centers collecting those important signatures. Because that's where they got the signatures and votes for the wolf initiative. Here is at least one group soliciting volunteers to collect those signatures. Know your enemy.
Maybe they'll highlight the media coverage of the recent mountain lion pet attacks in Summit County.
And, last but not least, actually the most important part of this is a link to Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management the one group that in my opinion is doing the most and leading the charge in this fight. I know there are others-this is where my money is going.
