Colorado banned leghold traps in 1996 for a reason. Initiative 302's "right to harvest wildlife" using vague "traditional methods" language could be weaponized in court to argue that ban is unconstitutional. Not through a public vote — through litigation. Special interests don't need to win at the ballot box if they can win in a courtroom.

How do you feel about hunting?

If done properly, it’s one of the most humane ways of obtaining meat and other animal products. However, there are cruel hunting methods.

I am against using dogs to catch or maul animals since this causes unnecessary suffering and puts the dogs at risk. And yes, people actually do that. Hunting dogs aren’t always just used to sniff stuff out. 

I am also against trapping since, again, it causes unnecessary stress and suffering. Even live traps, which are designed not hurt the animals directly, are still extremely stressful. When you use traps, you set them up and you leave. Which means whatever animal gets stuck has to wait there for you to come check, which usually takes hours. So they’re stuck for hours, sometimes panicking and injuring themselves, until you come and end it.

And I lean against trophy hunting. Even if you aren’t hunting rare animals and you don’t waste the meat, you’re still hunting down the biggest, most impressive animals, the ones with very valuable genetics. If this happens enough, it could lead to populations becoming weaker over time.
