Denver wants family dogs executed or exiled-
Dogs are an integral part of our families and communities, whose companionship contributes to the social and psychological well being of people from all walks of life. Public policy is a critical aspect which can determine the quality of this special relationship we share with our canines. It should not be taken for granted. In all too many communities, citizens and their dogs are unduly denied access to parks, public transportation, and even a place to live.

dogs.On May 9, 2005, the Denver Division of Animal Control began enforcing a city-wide ban on owning pit bull terriers (and any mix breed dog determined to be part pit bull). An aggressive dog hunt began. Beloved family dogs that had never done anything wrong and remained confined to the owner’s property were taken from their homes and killed against the protest of distraught dog owners.

This ordinance also bans shelters and humane societies from harboring pit bulls, and even goes so far as to forbid any US resident from transporting a pit bull through Denver without a permit.
