It is heartwarming to see the compassion shown by Director Doug Kelley and Denver Animal Care & Control regarding Romeo, the chow mix that heroically defended its dead friend in the middle of the road (“Hark, it’s Romeo’s sad tale,” Sept. 20).
Too bad Kelley and his fellow workers did not show that same compassion a few months ago when they executed 21 adult pit bulls and 12 puppies whose only crime had involved being brought into Denver in a truck by a moronic owner.
Too bad they don’t show that same compassion each year as they euthanize hundreds of pit bulls, American Staffordshire terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers and their relatives at Denver’s killing centers.
Still, I guess a little compassion is better than none at all.

I trust a strange pitbull not to bite me far more than any chow or chow mix.

Seeing Doug Kelly in the actual shelter area, where the dogs are kept? When he's not just passing through on his way home or to a meeting? Buddy, call the National Enquirer, cause you've seen a bona fide miracle! Maybe he was out looking for the $103,000 that got ripped off from the place, but hands on he ain't. One thing Ol' Hickenlooper Pooper Scooper, Nancy Severson, and the Denver City Council just can't seem to get through their thick skulls is that moving the same three idiots who run the place now to a new location doesn't work, because the stupid is bound to follow. Good luck to anyone who has a dog of any breed in that hell hole.
