Denver Pitbull Ban Draws Dog Lovers' Ire
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2005/07/06/denver_pit_bull_ban_draws_dog_lovers_ire/
DENVER -- Within the last month, more than 200 pit bulls have been plucked from the municipal animal shelter and euthanized as the city cracks down on the sometimes-dangerous breed. That has sparked a petition drive to overturn the pit bull ban and fueled a sort of canine underground railroad in which dog lovers secretly ferry the outlawed animals out of town...
What an outrage! How dare a city think it has the right to tell people that they have to give up their dogs. Yes I know pits can be viscious, but many of these dogs have done no wrong. This legislation bans an entire breed, regardless of the animal's individual behavior or history.
Also the way it's enforced is akin to naziism. The animal control agents are like the gestapo, climbing into peoples backyards while they're at work and the dog is in the backyard. The dog is taken and many never see their pet again. I hope dog owners and lovers everywhere flood the city council with angry phone calls and hate mail. I hope there are protests or even riots in Downtown Denver. Make those city councilmen afraid to sleep at night.
