Denver voters bypass Democratic mayors veto, lift 30-year ban on pit bulls
Ballot Measure 2J passed by almost a 30-point margin
By Michael Ruiz | Fox News
Denver voters heavily favored a ballot measure Tuesday to overturn the citys 30-year-old ban on pit bull ownership. Thats well over 100 in dog years.
Ballot Measure 2J passed by almost 30 points, 64.75% to 35.36%, according to the citys website.
The move will allow residents to own pit bulls as long as they are microchipped and meet requirements set by Denver Animal Protection.
Critics of the ban argued that a dogs breed alone was not a valid indicator of whether it would be violent and that the city had wasted millions on enforcement.

(1,979 posts)Boarding is free range 1/2 acre with up to 25 dogs. I do not take pits. Too aggressive at play and if they force another dog to retaliate they do not back down. I know pit folk love their dogs but they don't belong in my world. Also I'm sure the Denver ban on Pits seriously cut down on the random breeding of them. Pits and pit mixes are overwhelming the animal shelters and rescues because of irresponsible owners not neutering or spaying.

But he could grab hold of a big stick and lock his jaw in fun, expecting me to lift him off the ground. Very protective of the kids he played with. His only fault was horrible gas as he would drift off to sleep.
