TheDenverChannel.com - News - Denver Allowed To Enforce Pit Bull Ban
You're kidding right? Banning a single species of dog is consitutional? Insane. The worst part is the reason it's upheld is that the State Attorney's General didn't provide new evidence that pitbulls are just like any other dog. Is there really a lack of studies that document that pit bulls are not inherenlty more violent than other breeds? That's pathetic. I've met many pit bulls, who were the sweetest dogs you could meet. They were treated well by their owners, and so there were no problems. The problems come in when people train them to be mean and fight. That's not the dog's fault. Stick any dog in a cage, mistreat it, and it will come out mean. That's not an inherent pit bull trait.
Why do we continue to write laws based on prejudice and lies? And when will we learn that zero tolerance is the stupidest thing you could ever include in law enforcement? This is not going to stop dog maulings...just pit bull maulings. What will happen the next time someone is attacked by a dog? Will they outlaw mutts? All dogs? Come on!!!!!! This is insane!
I feel so deeply for the owners and good dogs out there. They're all losing their families, over ignorance and prejudice. It's sad. It's too bad all these people can't just move out of Denver, see how the city likes that!

I think that it's less to do with "mean" and more to do with "ability to cause damage". When a normal dog bites, they release. When a pitbull bites, their instincts tend to kick in and their jaw locks down, and a pitbull's jaw is able to exert enough pressure to break bones. Big bones. And it's extremely hard to pry open (unless you've got a break-stick.)
But I agree that it's absurd to ban a breed. Properly trained and loved, pitbulls are some of the sweetest goofiest things. Same with Rottweilers, dobermans, and shepherds--other dogs with "violent" associations.
