Economic and Social Impact


The slaughterhouse ban in Denver targets Superior Farms, which processes 19% of global lamb production, leading to the immediate layoff of 200 employees, mostly people of color, destroying their equity and impacting Colorado families.


Denver's fur ban would prohibit any product made with a pelt, including cowboy hats, teddy bears, and fishing lures, affecting 80% of the fishing industry and impacting fly fishing shops and Native American powwows.


Industry and Cultural Consequences


The ban will significantly impact the National Western Stock Show, one of the largest gatherings of producers from all 50 states, as producers may avoid bringing animals to Denver if processing plants are shut down.


The slaughterhouse ban is an unprecedented attack on a single business, potentially sending 20 people out of work with just one ballot measure, decimating families and destroying equity.


Broader Implications and Motivations


The ban is part of a larger agenda by out-of-state groups like Pro Animal Future and Stop Factory Farming to force a vegetarian lifestyle on Americans, aiming to eliminate meat production across the United States.


The video host, born and raised in Colorado, describes the ban as an insane and unethical attempt to force a specific lifestyle on others, noting that almost 200 friends at Superior Farms will lose their jobs if the measure passes.
