Moses Lake, WA: BSL passed first reading; second reading Nov. 25

Crossposted from BSL Updates:

Last night, the Moses Lake city council passed the first reading of their proposed “hazardous dog” ordinance. The ordinance is breed specific. If passed, it would regulate the ownership of American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and any mixes thereof.

Second (and final) reading will be November 25, 2008.

The public is welcome to attend the city council meetings and address the council. You do not need to place your name on the agenda. Written materials for consideration must be received by the city clerk by November 20, 2008. The clerk will distribute the materials to the city officials.

I do not have e-mail contact information, so you will have to fax or snail mail your polite and respectful opposition and educational materials to the city clerk.
