For the first time in over 30 years, a pit bull was adopted in Denver, Colorado. The citywide ban was first enacted in 1989 after 20 people were attacked by pit bulls in five years leading up to the ban.
For over three decades, pit bulls were banned from being adopted in the city of Denver. The citywide ban was first enacted in 1989 after a spike in attacks by the dog breed in the five years prior to the vote, KMGH reported. In those years leading up to the ban, 20 people had been attacked, including a 3-year-old who died from an attack in 1986, according to the outlet.
