Pit Bulls removed from homes???

This world is crap. :mad: :(

I do not understand how Denver could
pass a law like that!
How can they make you turn in your family pet?
I would think they could have a law that pit bulls
must be muzzled if out in public but for the law
to litterly take your pet from you with-out just
cause just because it is a certain breed. :mad:

I guess the only way around this law would be
to register your pitbull as a lab mix or something.

darn shame there is no law requiring the removal of bad owners from their homes:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: would there be room at the pound?

They'd have to shoot me to get my dog!

EVERYONE please sign this petition and pass it on.

This ticks me off :mad: I am with you, Val. I'd have to go to jail, too there is NO reason for this, our dogs are family and that's that. How can people cause such heartache :mad: :(
My heart goes out to those that had to give up their pit bulls. This just isn't fair. I cried when I saw it on another message board. It just makes me hurt.

I tried to discuss this with my mom about pit bulls and we got in a huge argument. I guess she has never seen one to know to love them. The shelter I volunteered at had a pit bull, his name was Melvin and brindle coloured. He was the sweetest guy, they say he was mixed with great dane. He is the only pit bull I've met and I don't know I am just partial to pit bulls. I would be honored to meet any other pit bulls! :) This just sickens me and makes me so sad :(

Pit Chick, I am signing the petition now.

# 5295

Thanks so much for posting that pit chick!!! I'm signing. I only live a couple of hundered miles from Denver. I still cant believe they did that. It makes me real ashamed to be from Colorado right now.

I don't blame you, Donna.

I signed, #5308

:(

I signed too.

I can't imagine how these poor people must feel...having someone come into their homes and remove a member of their family. :(

#5332

The petition mentioned that 13 states prohibit breed discrimination laws. Does anyone know which states those are? I'm curious.

EDIT: I found this... but it doesn't make much sense since Denver passed this law?

Texas, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma and Virginia all have a provision prohibiting municipalities from passing Breed Specific Legislation

Found that phrase on this page: http://www.uskbtc.com/article.php/263

And here: http://www.understand-a-bull.com/BSL...SLocations.htm

This is confusing.

at least my state has laws prohibiting BSL!

Denver got around the state legislation as for some reason they are classed as a self-governing city.

So sad.

Thanks for the clarification Glacier. It is indeed so very sad.
