PUEBLO COUNTY â Pueblo County is taking a stand against one of Governor Jared Polis recent proclamations.
In response to Polis proclaiming March 20 as MeatOut Day, the county has declared that same date to be Cattlemen s Day.
The proclamation naming March 20, 2021, as MeatOut Day lists health risks associated with meat-based diets and celebrates the environmental benefits of vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.
While the occasion is welcomed by the vegan community, cattle ranchers see it as a slight against their industry.
