I suggest that everyone here write a letter to the Denver city council (there are 12 of them) and the mayor and tell them what you think...I did... Here's my email:

Dear Council members and mayor of the city of Denver,

As you can see, I am the volunteer adoption and rescue coordinator for the LaGrange County Animal Shelter in LaGrange, IN. My name is Molly Kendall. I actually live in Fort Wayne, IN, which has one of the largest dog fighting rings in the Midwest because of our location. While our animal control puts all pit bulls down that come into our shelter (which is also a ridiculous policy), but, at least they do not go out and waste tax payers hard earned dollars on a witch hunt and rounding up all pit bulls so that the city of Denver can enjoy killing them.

The two best words that I can come up with to describe the city council of Denver is ignorant and bigoted. Charlie Brown stated that pit bulls are trained to fight and that they are bred for that. I cannot believe that educated people such as yourselves would actually make such an asinine statement. There is absolutely NO evidence that pit bulls are ALL bred for fighting. Pit bulls are actually rated in the top 10 best dogs to have with children because of their loyalty and protectiveness. Do you plan on banning the Little Rascals or RCA for having pit bulls as their representatives? Do you also plan on banning Cocker Spaniels, Chihuahuas, Min Pins, Poodles, and Yorkshire Terriers? They are far more likely to bite than any pit bull. Did you bother to do any research at all? Cocker Spaniels are the number one most likely to bite you dog. Did you bother to research the pit bull breed? Obviously not, or you would not have this knee jerk reaction to the breed. To put it in human context, would you consider not allowing African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, or Asians to live in Denver because of their race? I think not, it is a ridiculous thing to even consider, however, what you are doing to the pit bulls of Denver is no different. Have any of you even bothered to go to the shelter and meet any of the pit bulls that you have condemned to death? Probably not…why dirty your hands? I suggest that YOU go down to the shelter and stick the needle in the dog’s arm and watch it die. Breed bans are preposterous. Regardless if it is a pit bull, Rottweiler, Doberman Pinscher, German Sheperd, or Chow, no dog breed should be singled out.

I’m sure that you are aware that this discriminatory practice has been sent all over the internet. People from all over the world (especially Europe where they are not so narrow minded) are reading your decision and are making the conscience choice, as am I, to never grace the city of Denver with their presence. I, for one, have sent this policy to everyone I know and have asked them to never visit the city of Denver. I sincerely hope that the good citizens of Denver become outraged enough to make sure that you understand that your decision to ban pit bulls was made out of ignorance and fear and should be dismissed, and if not, that you lose your jobs in the next election.

Thank you,

Molly Kendall
