Denver’s pit bull ban remains on the books after the City Council failed to get enough votes to override the mayor’s veto.
"If this were to become a law in our city and harm comes to someone as a result, then we would have done a disservice to the people of Denver," Hancock has said in announcing the veto, according to video fromSupporters of removing the ban said that studies show that breed-specific legislation does not work and that pit bulls do not bite people at greater rates than other kinds of dogs."We are devastated and angry and ready to keep fighting the good fight," the group said.
One of those 20 people attacked in that span included a 3-year-old who was fatally attacked in October 1986. Under the new proposal, owners would have been required to apply for breed-restricted licenses, register their pit bulls with Denver Animal Protection and provide proof that the dogs have been microchipped, received rabies vaccinations and been spayed or neutered.
