Garfield County is joining other ranching counties across Colorado in declaring “All Meats March” and designating March 20 as “Meat-In Day.”
The growing movement to encourage a day in support of livestock producers is meant to counter Gov. Jared Polis’s recently signed proclamation for March 20 to be “Meat Out Day.”
The mostly ceremonial, non-binding proclamation was put forward by the Farm Animal Rights Movement.
It is meant to encourage non-vegetarians to consider a day without meat and the health benefits of a plant-based diet.
The suggested proclamation was just one of dozens the governor’s office receives on a regular basis. Just last week, Polis also signed a proclamation declaring March 22 as Colorado Livestock Proud Day.
