Colorado Allocates $1 Million to Mitigate Human-Bear Conflicts Across the State

Colorado Allocates $1 Million to Mitigate Human-Bear Conflicts Across the State

Colorado is distributing $1 million through the Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s (CPW) Human-Bear Conflict Reduction Grants program to fund 17 projects aimed at reducing interactions between humans and black bears. This initiative comes as the state has experienced a record 10 confirmed bear attacks this year. Governor Jared Polis emphasized that these data-driven strategies are crucial for ensuring the safety of both Coloradans and wildlife. Since its inception in 2021, the grant program has disbursed a total of $3.9 million. The funded projects include $100,000 for bear-resistant trash bins in Manitou Springs, $35,000 for a dumpster enclosure system at a new preschool in Eagle, $33,000 for electric fencing at the YMCA of Northern Colorado, and $100,000 for a secure trash system in Minturn's commercial district. These measures are designed to address the issue of bears seeking human food sources, particularly discarded trash, when their natural diet is limited due to environmental factors like late freezes o...

Humane Colorado Volunteer Advocates for Pit Bulls, Dispelling Breed Stereotypes

Humane Colorado Volunteer Advocates for Pit Bulls, Dispelling Breed Stereotypes

Steve, a long-time volunteer at Humane Colorado, has dedicated over 1,000 hours to walking dogs, leading to a significant change in his perspective on Pit Bulls. Initially wary due to past breed-specific legislation in Denver, which banned dogs with Pit Bull physical traits for over 30 years, Steve's direct interactions at Humane Colorado have transformed his views. He now describes Pit Bulls, which constitute approximately 18% of the shelter's canine population, as 'the nicest in the world.' His volunteer work often involves walking fearful Pit Bulls or those with reservations about men to boost their adoptability, building trust through consistent interaction. This personal experience aligns with broader policy changes in Colorado, including the 2020 repeal of Denver's Pit Bull Ban and recent legislation prohibiting insurers from denying homeowner's policies based on a dog's breed.

Colorado Designates Frances Xavier Cabrini Day as State Holiday

Colorado Designates Frances Xavier Cabrini Day as State Holiday

Colorado state employees now observe Frances Xavier Cabrini Day on the first Monday of October, a state holiday designated in 2020. Frances Xavier Cabrini, born in Italy in 1850, became a U.S. citizen in 1909 and is recognized for her extensive work in establishing schools, hospitals, and orphanages across the country, including in Colorado. She was canonized as a saint in 1946. Historical records from the Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection (CHNC) show that early mentions of her work in Colorado were often under different names or focused on the institutions she founded, such as the Queen of Heaven Orphanage. It wasn't until 1914 that a column in The Rocky Mountain News explicitly paid tribute to 'Mother Cabrini' and her leadership role. Her passing in Chicago in 1917 was reported in Denver, and a memorial was held in Colorado in 1918 with the laying of the cornerstone for the Queen of Heaven Orphanage.
