news · Denver pit-bull ban history

I have a seperate website about this topic at: pitbullban.org/, but briefly the issue I was having was the proponents for lifting the ban wouldn't acknowledge the actual origin of the law in the first place.

There was a Latina councilwoman who co-sponsored the original bill back in 1989. The measure was sponsored by Councilwoman Mary DeGroot and Councilwoman Ramona Martinez so the proponents insisting that it was racial related law was a lie. The narrative was that the Latinx gangs liked the dogs and the law was a means to oppress. I also noticed that there were owners of dog rescue operations in the mix of proponents to lift the ban too, so a job security motive since some people would inevitably need to give one up.

In reality there were a couple notable victims of pit-bull attacks within the city limits in the 1980's. A boy was mauled to death and a Black man was attacked by a stray pit-bull in his own alley. I thought it crude that the governor immediately had photo op celebrating the lift of the ban. All these so-called enlightened liberals are hypocritical and sadistic. Time after time I will get a liberal online commenting to me some subtle death threat (like "I need to be put down") or more recently I was asked why I would care what a person does to their child.
