With Proposition 127 sparking debates across Colorado, Douglas County Commissioners have loudly declared their opposition. In a unanimous move, they’ve backed the stance of Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), arguing for the continuation of scientifically informed predator management practices. Especially controversial is Proposition 127’s call for a ban on hunting mountain lions and bobcats, a move that commissioners forecast could have detrimental effects on the state’s ecosystems, safety, and rural economies.
