From the Columbia Basin Herald:
“Warden is waiting to hear more information from Royal City regarding a dog ordinance banning specific breeds.
Council discussed holding a public meeting on the matter before voting on whether to adopt it.
The town is considering adopting the ban on pit bulls and rottweilers and have so far heard most people from Royal City are content with the city’s ban.
Councilmember Rick Pruneda expressed his desire to see Warden’s existing dog ordinance further enforced and questioned who would enforce the breed ban, if adopted.”
**Please contact the Warden city clerk and ask that your e-mail in opposition to any breed ban proposal be forwarded on to council members. You can e-mail the mayor directly here.

From The Arkansas Leader:
“At their May council meeting, Beebe aldermen examined the Lonoke ordinance, the same one Cabot is considering, and decided they don’t want to grandfather the dogs already in the city.
They asked City Attorney Mark Derrick to prepare an ordinance for the June meeting that would give owners 60 days to get rid of the dogs. Read the rest of this entry »

The Phillipsburg City Council is considering an ordinance specific to “pit bulls” which could include requiring them to be leashed (an ordinance they should already have for all dogs), muzzled, licensed specific to their breed (except that “pit bull” is not a breed), walked only by adults in public, and insured for $1 million (even though few insurers, if any, will insure supposed “dangerous” breeds for this much).
You can contact members of the council and the mayor by sending your polite e-mails to the city clerk using the city’s web form. Please encourage the council to consider a leash law for all breeds and better Animal Control enforcement.

“Pet owners in Rolla may have the opportunity to hear more about a proposed new ordinance as soon as the second City Council meeting June 18, but more than likely it will be the first meeting in July.
The ordinance also seeks a registration of persons owning a pit bull-terrier-type dog older than six months. These dogs — excluding those intended for breeding — shall be spayed or neutered. There will be a $10 licensing fee for Pit Bull-terrier dogs, according to the ordinance proposal.”

Please contact members of Rolla’s City Council and tell them there are better alternatives to a breed-specific ordinance. If you’re in the area please consider attending the public hearings regarding this ordinance and voicing your polite opposition.
