Pets Taken From Homes

Found this Via Avenging Ophelia. It's revolting.
local6.com - Family - Denver Impounds, Euthanizes 3 Pit Bulls Daily: "DENVER -- Since reinstating its pit bull ban in May, Denver has impounded more than 380 pit bulls and is euthanizing them at an average rate of three a day, Denver television station KMGH reported. The city maintains the ban protects its residents. Others say the law should target irresponsible owners and all dangerous dogs, and the city should not ban by breed. Denver has one of the toughest pit-bull bans in the country. Only two other major metropolitan areas -- Miami and Cincinnati -- ban pit bulls, according to the American Canine Foundation.
A Colorado state law passed in 2004 had prohibited cities from banning specific breeds, but Denver won a court challenge to the law. Some dog owners are now in a panic and are sending their pets elsewhere or hiding them. At least 260 pit bulls have been destroyed by the city of Denver since the ban was enforced, the station reported. So just how dangerous are pit bulls?"
