Webinar on Prop 127, which would make trophy-hunting mountain lions illegal in Colorado
AWA and the Center for a Humane Economy are members of a broad coalition supporting the initiative, which would make illegal the egregious practice of using packs of dogs equipped with telemetry devices to chase mountain lions up trees, where they remain terrified until a “hunter” shoots them down just to mount them as trophies.
