A Hobart, IN, resident plans to ask city council for a breed ban during the next council meeting, June 20 at 6:00 PM at City Hall council chambers, second floor, 414 Main Street.
Residents and locals, please attend the meeting and respectfully participate in the community dialogue. BSL has been suggested multiple times in Hobart in the past; most recently last November, when a different resident and a councilwoman both suggested BSL.

Stop BSL 
What will happen to Pit Bull Service Dogs and their owners. Total bans are a very short-sighted idea. Why not ban bad dog owners – there are sure lots of them!!! Run THEM out of town – not the pit bull dogs who are well-adjusted and loved!!
Ive been told by 2 councilman that this will not happen. I went to school with one councilman. I spoke to him via text last night, and he assured me again, this will not happen. I’m getting all my friends together, I’ve updated my Facebook status to let everyone know and trying to get sad many people to help me put an end to this in Hobart once and for all! I remember seeing info on the stop BSL site somewhere about tips on what to say, and important info that could help us. I can’t seem to find it now. I’m sure this lady is probably bringing an arsenal of negativity with her to this meeting. I don’t wanna be unprepared.
