Denver Dog Owners... 

 You need to organize in the City and fight City hall and all their prejudice regarding pit bulls.   City Hall is telling reporters and responders that Residents of Denver are not questioning the ban.  That the vast majority of complaints, letters, calls,etc are coming from people outside the Denver limits.

It is in the hands of residents now and you MUST unite and fight this massacre by ignorance.   I will help you in any way I can by educating you to BSL, reports, statistics,etc.  But you have to organize other owners, NOT just pit bull owners but all dog owners, all citizens.   Don't think for a minute that Malamutes are not on the councils radar after the tragic attack last weekend. 

If you are a Denver owner and want to fight this ban, email me -  fightbsl@understand-a-bull.com  I will create a page of contacts for Denver owners so you can email others and start an organized battle against City Hall.

 

Stories that Denver and the Media are using to support the ban.  HOWEVER!!  A friend and fellow BSL fighter Leisa from the BSL Workshop spent quite a bit of time investigating these stories and found the problem to be a lack of enforcement of current laws and irresponsible owners.

Official Response from the Mayors Office

Some points I have about the Mayors Response:

<<, including three-year old Fernando Salazar, who was fatally mauled by a pit bull in southwest Denver in October of 1986.>>
 
Yes, he wandered away from his home unnoticed by his parent into someones backyard and approached a chained dog.
 
<<The victim suffered serious injuries over 70 bites,>>  As do many other breeds Just in the past few weeks we hve had incidents such as the Alaskan Malamute that fatall attacked a young girl in Denver this weekend,  Two Siberian Husky's that killed a child in Warterford Michigan the day before the Denver incident,   A Belgian Malanois polices dog fired for to many attacks without command,  another Malinois (retired police K9)attacked a neighbor and put him in the hospital in critical condition, A Labrador Retriever and Dachshund viciously attacked an elderly woman, A German Sheperd viciously attacked an elderly woman,  Briard killed a child, Asian Jindo attacks woman, Dalamation attacks postal carrier for 2nd time, Police dog German shepard attacked a woman, Dalmation bit a jogger, etc etc etc.
 
The one thing your city has never done is research the facts.  You take dog bite reports for fact when even the American Vetrinary Medical Associatoin states they are fiction and tells you several reasons as to why they are fiction.  NO dog bite reports consider population as a factor when it is clearly the most important when looking at any crime, dog bite, murder, car accidents,etc.  
 
15 attacks by pit bulls in Denver with a pit bull population of 10000 has a different risk factor than 10 bites by a Doberman in Denver with a Doberman population of 1000.   While on a dog bite report the Pit bull would certainly appear to be at the top of the list, BUT when you look at the population factor the Doberman in this example would be a far great risk to the community.
 
Also the fact that pit bull isn't a breed but a term to group 3 breeds.  Why is it that dog bite reports always say pit bull and group all 3 together?  Of course the numbers are higher it represents 3 breeds.  You never see "retriever" where the different breeds likes Goldens, Labradors and Chessepeakes are all grouped on one line, guess what their numbers would be higher! 
 
Elbert county,  the owner shouldn't have been allowed to own dogs.  She was convicted of neglect, abuse and cruelty.  The point in that case I would stress is the Sheriff was quoted as saying that they had reports of these dogs roaming free and biting people for the past several months.  Had they done there job that woman would still be alive.
 
Do they know than  fixed pit bull has never been involved in fatal attack?    Why is it all the major canine orgs say bsl doesn't work, that it's an owner problem?
