By Julie Turner-Crawford
ack in May, I wrote of a ballot initiative petition circulating in Colorado that would devastate the livestock industry in that state. Initiative 16, a section referred to as “WilJulie Turner-Crawford bur’s Law,” would have added livestock and is a native of Dallas fish to the state’s animal cruelty law and redefined what County, Mo., where constituted a “sexual act with an animal,” including she grew up on her practices used in breeding and animal husbandry. It family’s farm. She is a would have also banned the processing of any animal graduate of Missouri until it had reached a quarter of its natural lifespan. State University. To Luckily, the question never got on the ballot. The Colcontact Julie, call 1-866orado Supreme Court rejected the measure, ruling that 532-1960 or by email at Initiative 16 violates the state’s single-subject requireeditor@ozarksfn.com. ment. Colorado law requires a single subject, and by combining the treatment of livestock and changing the laws relating to sexual abuse of all animals, it was rendered invalid. The ruling may have been a sigh of relief for livestock producers in that state, but it could mean two initiative petitions in the future.
