In Denver, the manager of the Denver Animal Control denied to license a disabled Gulf War Veteran's APBT, this dog has served as his service animal in his two previous residences in California and Arizona. He was told to get rid of his dog or move out of Denver Also in Denver another disabled person wanted to visit her sister and attend some UKC events with her APBT, this same Animal Control Person told her that he would not give her the necessary permit for her service dog, so she could not go to visit her sister. In the last case in Aurora, another veteran had his pit bull mix seized by animal control as a banned breed, despite his pleas that it was his service dog. The dog was finally released after he paid fines and sent the dog out of the city of Aurora. Now he has to depend on friends to help him, he goes to visit his dog, but can't afford to move. Both the veterans have written prescriptions for their service dogs from their VA doctors. http://www.examiner.com/x-41147-Bull-Terrier-Examiner~y2010m3d13-Bully-Breed-Service-Dogs-Removed-From-Owners-Suits-Filed
