I think it was a well thought out piece of legislation. Other similar
amendments has failed for the past 20+ years. They were not as reasonably
written.

Subject: Colorado outlaws mouse traps
In a narrow decision, Colorado voters approved amending their state
consititution with a broadly worded statute to outlaw leghold and body hold
traps to control wild animals.
Colorado therefore becomes the first state that makes the use of the common
mouse trap a prisonable offense. The new amendment does however allow
homeowners to use a shotgun to control these pests.
