Pit Bulls: Pets or Pests?
Shelter Workers Offer Their View
In this Fetch blog post, John Davidson of The Denver Post visits with professional staff members at Foothills Animal Shelter in Golden for a roundtable discussion about the controversial breed.
Jennifer Strickland, Foothills' director of community relations, said in its first year of operation, pit bulls accounted for 455 of the 4,126 animals handled at Foothills. A major reason for these numbers is that when Denver banned pit bulls there was an exodus of the breed to surrounding suburban communities.
