Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
On Friday, dog lovers who oppose breed specific legislation like Denver's pit bull ban gathered on the 16th Street Mall to stage what they describe as a flash mob -- although it was closer to a political demonstration. After a megaphone-amplified introduction, various participants declared, "I want my pit bull in Denver!" before joining together, torches in hand, to paraphrase John Lennon with the singing of "Give Pits a Chance!"
Check out a video of the protest below.
