House approves animal-welfare bill
Published April 10, 2008 by CSBJ Staff
The Colorado House of Representatives has approved legislation that will phase out the use of veal and gestation crates.
The Senate has already approved the bill, and Gov. Bill Ritter has indicated he will sign it.
If the bill becomes law, it will join three other animal welfare bills signed into law by Gov. Ritter this session, a bill making the possession of a bald eagle illegal, a bill banning computer-assisted remote hunting and a bill that amends Colorado Veterinary Practice Act for animal massage therapy, allowing other treatment options for animals.
