Denver Breed Specific Legislation has been in effect since 2005. Since that time over 1,700 family pets have been picked up directly from their homes or surrendered to shelters to to be killed because of the Ban. Please watch the following youtube video for a very real education in" what happens" when these types of laws come into effect. My special Thanks goes out to the young man who made this...It is a very educational and sobering reality of what this insane law is doing. Breed Specific Legislation has torn apart family's lives, having to allow a government to kill their family pet, who has done nothing wrong, expect be born , and show up wearing the wrong outfit. Hey, I am ALL for a law that address's vicious dogs in general, so that each dog is dealt with as it's own entity. But I am not for any law that picks out one breed and decides they all have to be killed. After watching this video you may have the urge,like me, to contact the mayor to let him know you too are opposed to BSL . He can be emailed at : milehighmayor@ci.denver.co.us
