During the last council meeting, the animal control department and the police department presented information about pit bulls and BSL; the presentation apparently advised against BSL. The council intends to continue discussing dog control options. Nothing official has been proposed at this time.

Wyoming explores dog rules
Mayor says he doesn’t want a ‘knee-jerk’ reaction

No formal proposals are before the council and Poll said Monday night he does not want to see a “knee-jerk” reaction.[…]
