Agri-women Oppose Colorado Initiative 16
Wednesday Apr 28th, 2021
The Colorado Treatment of Animals Initiative 16 has garnered the attention of the American Agri-Women organization.
The group is the nation’s largest coalition of farm, ranch, and agribusiness women and is using its lobbying power to oppose the measure.
American Agri-Women President Karolyn Zurn is warning Coloradans that, “ Initiative 16 is deceiving the voters to advance an anti-meat agenda.”
A statement from Zurn adds the measure would impose unrealistic mandates for animal agriculture that are designed to reduce meat and dairy production. And Zurn says signatures will be gathered by an extremist anti-agriculture, animal rights group.
