Thanks, Jeff...I've signed it.
I wonder how long it took to push (sneak) this one through. Hopefully, other dog owners - not just the Pit Bull owners - raise heck over this and get it repealed. They should understand that this leaves the door wide open to other breeds being added to the list.

I put in my two cents today on this petition. I am pretty tee'd.
I have never found Denver to be a nice place to visit - I was accosted by police officers when I was 21 and they had that 10 PM curfew for anyone under the age of 21. They threw me against the wall, frisked my privates and then asked for my ID. I've never forgotten it. Began calling Denver cops PIGS from then on.
I realize it's their government that's the problem and apparently their apathetic population to allow this legislation to go through in the first place! Well, enough of this frustration. I don't understand why the people of Denver are not in an uproar - apathy - I just don't get it.
This is what I wrote on the petition:
I do not own a pit bull and have met many who were friendly and lovable. An owner is legally liable for their chosen pet. Breed specific legislation to annihilate the existence of a species is a violation against nature. Aren't there much larger crimes in Denver that need government/police intervention? The ramifications: This will increase animosity towards Denver police; As crimes such as murder, rape, robbery occur Denver's police will be taking away a child's friendly pit bull. Pit bulls now, what breed/species is next? I have canceled plans and will not ever visit Denver or Colorado again until this legislation is repealed.. Denver is not safe or ethical.

Thanks, Jeff. I signed. One thing I can't understand is why the apathy in Denver? Is it a "I don't have a pitt, so i'm okay" syndrome? I can hear the next call for dangerous dogs, "Next! All Rottys must go", then "Next! All Malamutes must go", then "Next! All ....." *sigh* I guess i just don't get it.

I can't understand why the Co. people are putting up with this either. I have read the ACLU is getting involved now because so far they are just hitting the under privileged area's, so now its turned into a discrimination problem. I guess in their minds which is probably true they won't have as many people fighting back in those area's they just turn over their pits from fear rather then go to jail.
I also can't understand why this story hasn't made the national news, I would think something like this would make headline news. Becouse its such a rediculas law and its hard to believe something like this goes on in the US I was beginning to think maybe this is just some sort Internet scam but its all over the Denver news.

I've signed, it is not right to banned a certain breed. I read in an article that cockerspaniels have a higher tendency rate to bite than a pitbull. It is not the pits fault but the owner. Ive seen the tenascious creature be so gentle with children not even who they live with. I would feel safer around a pitbull that I don't know than a person. Some people need to be banned. Notice far more murders are being done by people than any animal on the face of this earth. Think about it.
