McKinley’s baffling animal rights bill succumbs to protest campaign
DENVER-- A complex bill apparently intended to strengthen animal protections in Colorado inspired contradictory interpretations and sparked a storm of protest this week. Sponsored by self-proclaimed cowboy and animal lover, Walsh Democratic Representative Wes McKinley, the bill sought mostly to set up new animal control rules and stiffen requirements for animal control personnel.

A push to amend the bill failed. HB 1124 (pdf) was put down on a second reading in the House Friday afternoon.
