    CO Governor Proclaims Day to Avoid Meat, So Rural Conservatives Plan a Statewide BBQ

    Colorado’s Democratic governor may have started this beef with the state’s cattle farmers, but citizens are serving it right back to him — well done, of course.


    Gov. Jared Polis made an official proclamation declaring March 20 “MeatOut Day,” urging residents to refrain from eating animal products despite beef accounting for the second-largest industry in Colorado, KCNC-TV reported.


    Cattle farmers and state politicians were outraged at Polis, who has a history of activism against the industry (it’s worth noting that Polis’ fiance, first gentleman Marlon Reis, is an animal rights activist and vegan).


    “We can’t have leadership in this state throw the number two industry in this state under the bus,” state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, who is a third-generation cattle rancher, said on the floor of the Colorado Senate.


    “That’s unacceptable!”


    Sonneberg was similarly incensed when Polis previously supported Burger King’s meatless option, taking it as an affront to the industry.


    “This contributes to his war on rural Colorado and creates an even bigger divide and it is a slap in the face,” the Republican lawmaker said.
