The ballot language is as follows:
Shall the voters of the City and County of Denver adopt an ordinance concerning a prohibition of fur products, and, in connection, beginning July 1, 2025, prohibiting the manufacture, distribution, display, sale, or trade of certain animal fur products in the City; and providing limited exceptions to the prohibition?
The group that brought this measure to the ballot, Pro-Animal Future, also brought a measure to ban slaughterhouses in Denver to the November ballot.
