The title of the article is misleading. The ban has been proposed, but has not yet been passed. The final vote will occur during the October city council meeting.

    This in my opnion is something that wont work because of (a) people wont get rid of their best friends to them these arent the viscious attack dogs that the media portrays them as or as city officials believe they are. They are loyal companions, and another member of the family and (b) its not addressing the issue of improper ownership which is the true cause of these bans, so below is a few options that truly address the cause bad owners. PUNISH THE DEED NOT THE BREED.

    1) Enforcement of generic dangerous dog laws, laws that hold owners
    accountable for the actions of their dogs regardless of breed.

    2) Enforcement of leash laws. Let’s be real strict about this. Tickets should
    be handed out like candy to individuals who disobey this law. Fine owners
    who let their dogs run loose or fail to keep them in enclosures that they
    cannot escape from. Let’s have a 3-strikes and you’re out law for people
    who refuse to keep their dogs under control. Use the money collected
    from these fines to fund community dog safety and responsible ownership
    programs.

    3) Stop making excuses for animal cruelty, neglect, and irresponsible
    ownership. There need to be huge fines for those involved in any
    inhumane or irresponsible activity with animals.
