Last night, the Bozeman City Commission voted to ban trapping on Sourdough Trail. Thank you for making a difference!
After TV ads, public education at Sourdough Trailhead, a meeting with the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, communications with the City Commissioners, and supporting Tribal representation at those meetings, we got this issue on the Commission's agenda and they passed it!
Your support greatly influenced the Commission, which, as citizens with children and pets, also realized the importance of safe recreational spots in the Bozeman area.
As before, the vote was 4-1; unfortunately, Commissioner Douglas Fisher opposed child and pet safety by voting against this common-sense proposal. It would be favorable for future projects to continue emailing Commissioner Fisher to: comments@bozeman.net. By asking him to think more about the safety of people and pets in the area, be positive and courteous, and tell him how you feel about trapping.
WE HAVE JUST BEGUN! There are many other places in Montana that could adapt the same kind of protections!
We also want to thank you for your continued support! Without you, we would not exist! So, let’s take a moment to celebrate this victory for Wildlife and one more step in the fight to end trapping forever!
Many thanks,
Stephen Capra
Executive Director
Bold Visions Conservation
