No specific Colorado law prohibits bear wrestling statewide; that statute exists in Missouri as a class A misdemeanor under 578.176, covering acts like wrestling, promoting, or training bears for it. Colorado bans animal fighting broadly as a class 5 felony, including any species, but focuses on protections like illegal wildlife sales involving bears rather than wrestling matches. Bear-related rules emphasize conflict management, such as landowners killing depredating bears with reporting requirements.​
