FITZGERALD, GA – […] Now, pit bull owners are coming together to get signatures on a petition, calling it unfair to single out a certain breed. […]

The ordinance requires a pit bull be muzzled when they are on a leash and being walked.

All pit bulls must be registered and have liability insurance of up to $50,000. […]

The law also requires that the dog must be kept in a pen, at least 6 feet long by 6 feet wide and 6 feet tall, with a secured roof and floor. […]

The group will be back at the Walmart parking lot on January 28th to try to get more signatures. […]
