Since 1989, the city of Denver has banned all "Pit Bull" type dogs or
any dog appearing to have the majority of physical characteristics of a
"Pit Bull" (and every type of dog that the city's Animal Control has
mis-identified as a "Pit Bull").
The ban is based on two incidents that occurred twenty two years ago.
Since that time, the city has never been able to provide factual
(untampered with) documentation as to the ban's effectiveness, they
can provide no expert testimony that endorses this legislation, and
every major animal welfare organization globally has denounced
Denver's law as a means of providing public safety to its citizens.
We are asking citizens of Denver to demand city officials reexam the
validity of the current ban on Pit Bulls, calling on Professional
Veterinary Doctors, Behaviorists, Animal Control Officers, and Trainers
(NOT EMPLOYED BY OR PAID FOR BY THE CITY OF DENVER) to
consult on the review. More so, we ask that this review be held in
public forum.
The results of this petition WILL NOT only be submitted to the city of
Denver like petitions of the past... but also the Denver Post, Westword
News, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, the Chicago
Tribune and every other major news publication in the U.S.
The Team Pit-a-Full brochure is available for download. The brochure
is full of facts and a time line of Denver's Pit Bull ban and its
continuous failure.
