Pointe Coupee Parish, LA: Ban on 10 breeds under consideration

Posted on November 3, 2010 by Fred M. Kray | 1 comment

Edit 11/4/10: Many people have pointed out a number of problems with the proposal as written, including unclear language and possible loopholes. Please keep in mind, this is a draft proposal and still needs significant revision. Locals should attend the police jury meetings and discuss the problems they see. Even if the item is not on the agenda, locals may speak on any topic during the public comment portion of the meeting.

Pointe Coupee Parish police jury is considering a ban on 10 breeds of dogs, including American Pit Bull, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Boxer, and Akita–and any mixed-breed dog that resembles one of these. Existing dogs of these breeds would be grandfathered in, but owners of these dogs would be subject to heavy ownership restrictions.

This proposal was presented to Pointe Coupee Parish police jury on 10/26/10, and it is currently being reviewed by the parish attorney. The Pointe Coupee Parish police jury still needs to officially propose, read, and hold a hearing on this proposal. (Schedule unknown at this time.)

The next Pointe Coupee Parish police jury meeting is on November 9 at 5:00 p.m. in the Police Jury Meeting Room, Courthouse Annex Building,160 East Main Street (located across the street from the courthouse), New Roads, Louisiana.

Animal control revamp eyed

By KORAN ADDO, Advocate Westside bureau
Published: Oct 25, 2010

NEW ROADS — […] On Tuesday, police jurors are expected to begin debating whether to assign fees to owners of potentially dangerous dogs, levy fines to owners of loose dogs and make other provisions based on recommendations from the parish’s Animal Control Committee.[…]

The recommendations the committee is planning to present on Tuesday address a broad range of issues, including leash laws, vaccinations, pet registration and how dogs are restrained in public and in vehicles, Meche said.[…]

Butte man calls for tougher dog laws

By Justin Post of The Montana Standard
Posted: Tuesday, August 3, 2010 3:00 am

The ordinances Banderob has proposed would require the owners of “dangerous” dog breeds or crossbreeds to procure $50,000 in liability insurance and create a dangerous/vicious animal public safety committee.

Pointe Coupee Parish, LA: BSL discussed (10 breeds affected)

Posted on May 26, 2010 by Fred M. Kray | 5 comments

Pointe Coupee Parish appears to be moving forward with BSL that would affect owners of German Shepherds, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Boxers, Akitas, Chows, and four types of “pit bulls.” They have gone so far as to ask the major city inside the parish (New Roads) to also pass the breed-specific ordinance.

Dog ordinance debated

* By EMILY HOLDEN

* Published: May 26, 2010 – Page: 4B

NEW ROADS — […] Under an Animal Control Committee proposal, German shepherds, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, boxers, Akitas, chow chows and pit bulls would be subject to the ordinance.

The Police Jury decided to ask New Roads to adopt a similar animal-control ordinance because the proposed parish ordinance would not supersede city, town and village laws.

Pointe Coupee Parish, LA reminder: Police Jury to consider BSL (10 breeds), May 25

Posted on May 24, 2010 by Fred M. Kray | Comments Off

The proposed ordinance is certainly breed-specific regulation, and may become a ban. The proposal would affect the following: “German shepherds, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, boxers, Akitas, chow chows and any of the four breeds that fall under the pit bull umbrella.”

Next Police Jury meeting: May 25, 5:00 PM
Police Jury Meeting Room, Courthouse Annex Building,160 East Main Street (located across the street from the courthouse), New Roads, Louisiana

Pointe Coupee, LA: BSL proposed (10 breeds)

Posted on May 12, 2010 by Fred M. Kray | 3 comments

Unclear whether this is a ban or a regulation on ownership of certain breeds. The proposal would affect the following: “German shepherds, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, boxers, Akitas, chow chows and any of the four breeds that fall under the pit bull umbrella.” (Not clear which breeds are included in the “pit bull” category; I’m only aware of three breeds traditionally considered “pit bulls.”)
