The Livable Communities Committee of Cincinnati, OH, approved a motion to repeal the breed ban and breed-specific language in their animal ordinances.
Next, the proposal moves to the full city council for a vote. The below news article says the council will vote this week. However, we do not see the proposal on this week’s council agenda, so we cannot confirm that this is true.
Please contact Cincinnati city council and respectfully show your support for repeal of the city’s longstanding breed ban. We can get this repealed!
