Proposition 127 - Prohibit Trophy Hunting of Mountain Lions, Lynx, and Bobcats

NO POSITION

This initiative would prohibit the hunting or trapping of bobcats, lynx, and mountain lions while continuing to permit the killing of these animals under certain circumstances and establishing penalties for violations.

CDP has not taken a position on this initiative because:
Wildlife biology is best conducted at the discretion of experts in the field, government agencies, and wildlife advocates, not at the ballot box, and the impact of increased mountain lion populations on humans and livestock interactions is unknown.
