LOWELL — The City Council voted 5-4 last night to approve an ordinance that requires all pit bulls to be muzzled and leashed when off their owners’ properties.[…]

Last night’s public hearing on the ordinance sparked impassioned debate from the councilors and the handful of public supporters and about a dozen members of the public who spoke in opposition.[..]

The ordinance requires that all pit bulls be spayed or neutered to reduce their aggressiveness, and does not let anyone in the city own more than two pit bulls.[…]

    Aggressiveness? My American Pit Bull terrier is human friendly (all ages), loves dogs, and loves all animals. Try telling him he’s aggressive, but then again all he’d do is lick you.

    I am training my “Pit Bull” to be a therapy dog after I gt him his CGC. There isn’t an aggressive bone in his body!

    Btw, what even is a “Pit Bull” because “Pit Bull” isn’t even a breed.
