There’s opportunity for change in Wentzville, MO. A dog owner (who believes she owns Great Dane mixes, not “pit bulls”) is standing up against discrimination, asking city aldermen to change their breed-specific ordinance.

There doesn’t need to be such a fuss over a dog’s purported breed. Breed-neutral ordinances are effective and fair, and don’t require subjective guesses about a dog’s breed. Please send respectful, helpful correspondence to Wentzville city aldermen. Encourage them to repeal their breed-discriminatory ordinance and ask them to apply their laws to all dog owners equally, regardless of a dog’s appearance.

Kearney is refusing to spend money to have her dogs’ blood drawn for DNA testing, just to comply with a pit bull law that she says should be changed. She’s taking her fight to city hall. [...]

The City of Wentzville wants them muzzled and on a hand-held leash, if they’re not in a kennel or pen. It’s the law for pit bulls. [...]

So Kearney’s been calling aldermen for the city of Wentzville, rattling enough cages to the point that the pit bull ordinance is being called for review next Wednesday night. Some say it could be too strict. One alderman says they will review the rules over mixed breeds and the muzzling. [...]
