For the first time in 30 years, it will be soon be legal to own a pit bull in Denver. The City Council on Monday repealed a ban on the dogs enacted after a series of attacks in 1989. Shira Hereld cried at the decision. "I am over the moon," she told the Denver Post, noting she'd moved to the Denver suburb of Arvada with her mixed-breed dog to avoid the ban. "I was constantly concerned she wouldn't pass the visual test," she said. Dr. Kendall Houlihan of the American Veterinary Medical Association's Animal Welfare Division

Nonsense. Any dog is only as dangerous as its owner raises it to be.
Even that can be overridden once the dog is in loving care. I follow a few dog rescues and I've seen dogs that were bred to fight turn into the most loving and gentle family dogs.

Not a dog person, but aren't pit bulls bred to be vicious guard dogs?

They were bred as a mix of terriers (hunting dogs) and bulldogs (which were originally fighting dogs, but haven't been for over 180 years now).

People often train them to fight and be aggressive by abusing and beating them, and putting them in fighting rings, which is illegal.

I rescued one as a puppy and he is the sweetest dog you will ever meet, because I raised him with love and care.

Are we sure that they're not just lifting a ban on the singer Pitbull?
