But now with all the negative media on the breed it’s causing a stir in the housing community. Some city’s like Colorado have Pit Bull owners register them. (Colorado newspaper, 2006) "My address is published--now people can get my dog or my children," Cindi Gilhousen told the News. "They 're treating us like we 're criminals. Nobody 's ever taken the time to meet these animals." They are not giving these animals fair representation, it doesn’t matter if the dog hasn’t done anything to anyone you must still register them with the city for everyone to know that you own a Pit Bull.
