Rochester Hills, MI: Attack spurs call for pit bull ban

Posted on September 1, 2010 by | 3 Comments

Rochester Hills previously considered a ban or BSL after a similar incident (dog on dog attack), but ultimately decided against it. Continued highly publicized incidents and public pressure for a ban may cause them to rethink that decision, however.

“I will do everything and anything in my power to get rid of every pit bull in the city of Rochester Hills,” Adams said Tuesday. “It’s ridiculous. There’s no place for those animals in this city. None.”

    This must be a national theme right now. I live in Rochester, NY and we the news here is covering stories about certain suburban pet shelters not allowing city residents to adopt pit bulls. I can certainly understand the hesitation, but as an across the board policy, it seems a bit much.

    Rochester Hills will be discussing vicious dogs at their council meeting this coming Monday. According to Councilor Klomp, the topic is slated for early in the meeting. He has requested additional information and asked if I would be able to attend. Although I lived & worked in Rochester Hills in the past (and hope to return there when I finish university), I am not able to attend. Stop BSL may contact me if you would like to receive a forwarded copy of Councilor Klomp’s e-mail stating that this will be an agenda item on Monday.
