Aurora, CO enacted breed specific laws in 2005, which banned 10 breeds of what Aurora deemed to be "fighting dogs." In 2011, all but 3 "pit bull" breeds were removed from the banned breed list. The Aurora City Council is currently considering whether to repeal its "pit bull" ban. Scientific studies prove that breed bans do not improve public safety or reduce the number or severity of dog bites where they are implemented. The citizens of the City of Aurora demand that our City Council vote to repeal Ordinance 14-75. In its place, we urge the city council to implement breed neutral dangerous dog laws similar to the ordinance implemented in Englewood, CO.
