A bunch of feel-good virtue singling wants to eliminate hundreds of jobs and force employee owned business out of the Denver area. Kind of fucking stupid.

From the post:
"Denverites will vote next year on two ballot measures that would ban fur sales and slaughterhouses in Denver.
One measure, led by the animal rights group Pro-Animal Future, would prohibit selling and manufacturing new fur in Denver. The potential law would go into effect in 2025 and give exemptions for second hand fur and Indigenous fur trading. Boulder passed a similar measure in 2021.
“It only aims to target the continued factory-farming and trapping of animals for luxury fashion sales,” wrote Pro-Animal Future spokesperson Phoenix Huber in a statement last week."
"Superior Farms spokesperson Roger Sherman said the ban would have a big impact on the region.
“Superior Farms is owned and operated by its employees and has been a part of the local community for more than 70 years, providing jobs and contributing to our local food economy,” he said. “Forcing it to shut down would put 170 workers, with good wages and benefits, out of their jobs. This measure is unfair and simply the wrong approach.”"
