Elgin decided against BSL in early 2010. The early results seem positive, though it’s too early to say that their new breed-neutral ordinance has been a success.

There’s no denying an element of racism or classism going on here. Says a resident: “We have inner city people who bought homes here … They don’t need to bring their pit bulls here.” Sterling Heights has been considering BSL for a while.

The ordinance proposed by City Attorney David Broadwell would prevent owners of the breed from being prosecuted under Denver’s anti-pit bull ordinance if the dog qualifies as a “service animal” under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act
