The board of aldermen
met Monday night to hear from its attorney,
Johnny Dalton and his definition of a dangerous dog, in the city's
effort
to unleash a vicious dog ordinance.
Over the past couple of months the board has had numerous complaints
from residents
regarding pit bulls and other dangerous dogs within the city.
Dalton prepared an ordinance for the council's review
which includes the
definition of a dangerous dog.......
* Any dog which, according to the records of the appropriate
authority,
has inflicted severe injury on a human being without provocation on public
or private property.
* Any
dog which, according to the records of the appropriate authority,
has killed a domestic animal without provocation while
off the owner's property.
* Any dog owned or harbored primarily or in part for the purposes of dog
fighting or any
dog trained for fighting.
* Any dog, not owned by a governmental or law enforcement unit, used
primarily to guard
public or private property.
* Any dog with a known propensity, tendency or disposition to attack
unprovoked, to cause
injury, or to otherwise threaten the safety of human
beings or domestic animals.
* Any dog which, when unprovoked,
chases or approaches a person upon the
streets, sidewalks, or any public or private property in a menacing fashion
or
apparent attitude of attack.
* Or, any pit bull dog, being defined to mean:
- The bull terrier breed of dog, the Staffordshire
bull terrier breed of dog,
the American pit bull terrier breed of dog, the American Staffordshire terrier
breed of
dog, or any dogs of mixed breed or other breeds than above listed
which breed or mixed breed is known as pit bulls, pit
bull dogs or pit bull
terrier, or any dog which has the appearance and characteristics of being
predominantly of the
breeds of bull terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier,
or the American pit bull."
The council decided to take a copy
of the prepared ordinance home to look
over and voted to act on the decision to pass said ordinance at next
month's
meeting.

Oklahoma statewide Representative
Paul Wesselhoft has vowed to propose BSL in the next
legislative session. We've already had reports from citizens in Oklahoma
that this, in fact, is true. After his proposed statewide ban on pit
bulls failed last legislative session, his new
proposal will be
"in a form to allow cities to make their own decision to ban any
dog if they think it's in the public
interest."
