"DENVER - A few weeks ago, two police cars and two animal control vehicles pulled up at the home of Stef'ny Steffen looking for her beloved 4-year-old pit bull, Xena. Seven officers hauled the animal off to the city shelter, putting her on death row

Unfortunately I can't boycott Denver, seeing as how I live here. ;D But I really hate this law. :\ They're going to vote on it in Aurora uhh next week too, and it'll probably pass there also. There seems to be some rescue group from Cali coming here to take all the dogs, a lot of people are also giving them to people in Colorado Springs and Wyoming and Nebraska.

But it seems like a lot of people would rather "fight" the law by sitting there and letting their dogs get taken away, than give them away. They had plenty of warning to make plans of what to do with their dogs. :(

i had a feeling people did have time. so people would rather their animals be taken away from them and die instead of getting them to safer grounds? how dumb is that. maybe they didnt realize how far the government would go...?

it's still unbelieveable that this is happening.... its unfair to the families and these dogs, whether or not they were given warning.

Silly humans. They take over the entire world, but are still affraid of a dog. Really, people suck.
