Law banning traveling elephant performances takes effect amid Colorado Renaissance Festival
LARKSPUR, Colo. (KRDO) A new Colorado law, known as the Traveling Animal Protection Act, will officially take effect on Aug. 14, during the last week of the Colorado Renaissance Festival in Larkspur.
The festival allows people to purchase rides on elephants and also features the animals in parades.
However, Senate Bill 21-135 is looking to change that. The legislation will ban the use of exotic animals in traveling performances. That includes elephants, lions, tigers, seals, and other non-native species. Violating the act will be considered a misdemeanor, and people face a fine ranging between $250 and $1,000 per violation.
