Independence, KY: Whispers of BSL

Nothing official has been proposed. It is not clear whether the council will decide to do something breed-specific. Of course, the problem seems to be a few loose dogs. Makes one wonder why a simple leash law cannot be enforced.

INDEPENDENCE – [...] At the suggestion of Burris, Independence council is looking into adding a provision to the city’s vicious animal ordinance that lets authorities take action if a dog is found to have a vicious propensity as determined by animal control officers or police.

Council will discuss the proposed change at its Oct. 5 meeting and may call an emergency meeting later that week to give its final approval, Council members Mike Little, Donna Yeager and Carol Franzen said.[...]

    Don’t ban based personal fears or sterotypes get the owners who are really responsible- banning these dogs because personal fears makes me sick and disgusted with people that want to ban a breed because what’s next more fear more dog breeds

    I truly think the citizens of Roselawn and our council members need to do a little research on the breed pit bulls. We don’t judge a person by their color. Why are we do judge a breed of dogs? We all know that a dog acts the way it does by the way of its owner. There are shows on daily (i.e. dog whisperer) that explain to dog owners u have to be in control of your dog you have to be the boss… if you have tension in your voice your dog picks up on it etc…Pit Bulls are a “pleasing” breed they want to please their owners. Before you bash the breed read up on it you will be suprised to find that a poodle, a beagle, a dachsund all have WORSE temperments that Pit Bulls. And as for the owner of the pit bulls on roselawn…DUMB ASS…you need to keep your dogs on a leash or behind a fense. People have a misconception of the animals anyway no need to instill more fear and cause the dogs to be taken away from you.
