  Dear Friend,
  
  You may or may not be aware of the recent hoopla in
  Denver. A man had 38 of his dogs taken from him while
  he was in Denver.
  
  Now, from the reports that I have seen the guy was not
  a stand up guy but the important thing I wanted to pass
  on is the fact the dogs are now in a shelter there in Denver
  and are reportedly not getting taken care of like they should.
  
  I can not confirm these reports with documented facts but
  I do have some contact information for you at the end of
  this email so you can get more information and write to
  the appropriate folks to voice your own concerns and opinions.
  
  I also understand the man might be able to get his dogs
  back but is subject to fines and possible jail time. These
  fines and jail time bring up another point I want to share
  with you.
  
  If you are going on vacation and you are taking your dogs
  do NOT travel through Denver.
  
  They can take your dogs even if you are passing through
  and you are subject to...are you ready?
  
  $999 fine PER DOG
  90 Days in Jail PER DOG.
  
  Now I want to make this clear, these laws apply to you
  even if you are PASSING THROUGH. You don't have to
  be a resident. If you are driving through Denver and
  are caught with your dog, they can take your dog from
  you and you are subject to the above fines and jail
  time.
  
  Do not complain to me about this please. I know. I understand
  and I am appauled by it like you are. Well, I'm a little more
  than appauled by it but for this email I'm going to keep it
  rated G for all ages.
  
  My point here is, be careful. Be aware of the laws in
  areas you travel through because most of these areas
  will enact their laws on you as if you lived there.
  
  When in their districts, observe their laws.
  
  If their local law says you have to muzzle your dog
  while in public, bring a muzzle and do it. The other
  option is to ignore the laws and end up with a fine,
  jail time and/or the loss of your dog.
  
  It's not worth it. Especially if you are only passing
  through. If you live in such areas write to your
  government, talk to lawyers, and start taking
  action against these ordinances.
  
  They are unconstitional, unfair, and based on lies,
  hype and myths.
  
  Together we can work to improve the situation but
  we have to do it right. Knowing the laws will help
  you.
  
  Look up the local city web sites you plan on traveling
  through and look up "dog ordinances+Pit Bulls" to
  get more information on their dog laws.

  not have proof they are not being cared for but
  I have heard scattered reports that say they are
  not getting proper care by the Denver shelter officals.
