Lee's Summit considering Pit Bull Ban
I can't believe this hasn't been talked about here... did I just miss it?
http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/14824615.htm Lee's Summit considers ban on pit bulls The Kansas City Star Lee's Summit is joining the list of cities talking about pit bulls. Councilman Ed Cockrell on Wednesday proposed in a committee meeting that the breed be banned before the city has an incident. Two other councilmen had mixed reactions. Councilman Ron Williams said people who already own pit bulls that behave should be allowed to keep those dogs, but he'd accept a ban on more pit bulls coming into the city. Randy Rhoads said a ban might create a false sense of security because other breeds are capable of seriously injuring people. City Administrator Steve Lewis said Lee's Summit has ordinances to handle individually vicious dogs. "There's a lot of debate about what's the best way to go," he said. |

In my heart i still think bans are the best thing for the breed, but i also feel that the goverment should have no say in the confiscation of private property w/out real and solid probable cause.

As a citizen of the lovely suburban bedroom city of Lee's Summit I have a dog in this fight.
On one hand the city is a very politically correct city but it has traditionally has had a political base being Republican and very conservative. Seat Belts, Helmuts and proventive bans are all the same kind of thing. Trying to regulate the behaviour of its citizens. If we go down that path why is cigarettes and liquor sales never a part of the discussion?

How do they determine what is a Pit Bull anyways? Are they going to test the dog's DNA and see what %? Does the dog have to be 50% pit bull? Is 20% enough for the dog to be illegal? |

It's hitting all over Kansas and Missouri now. They had a meeting last night in Overland Park and there is another in Independence on the 19th. THey are selling fear at unpresidented levels right now.

Correct me if I am wrong Pit Bull owners. The dogs are only mean if they are trained to be, otherwise they make great pets.
I suppose the major fear of this bread is their heads are so big and their jaws are like that of a snapping turtle and when they latch on they dont let go. IMHO, any Dog can be dangerous

Here is some info on the Independence meeting. You should fight it in all areas because once they start is spreads like wild fire.
The next public city council meeting is June 19 There is "already a lady signed up to speak to the dog issue-it may or may not be on the agenda", according to the Clerk today. (I have a feeling this is Ms. Castillo with the BanPitBulls site.) In order to speak you have to be signed up before Friday at 816-325-7010. Form letters can be found at www.defendingdog.com or http://www.rott-n-chatter.com. There are only a few Councilmembers with email...so any correspondance sent be sure to include the Council Aide ssaxton@indepmo.org and ask that the info be forwarded to ALL Councilmembers. Office of the City Council Sheila Saxton Council Aide Phone: (816)325-7022 Fax: (816)325-7012 E-mail: ssaxton@indepmo.org Mayor Don Reimal Phone816)325-7022 Home Phone816) 461-6044 Fax816)325-7012 Councilmember Will Swoffer Phone816)325-7022 Home Phone816) 257-1888 Fax816)325-7012 Councilmember Renee Paluka Phone816)325-7022 Home Phone816) 478-8641 Fax816)325-7012 reneepaluka@comcast.net Councilmember Jim Page Phone816)325-7022 Home Phone816) 252-1198 Fax816)325-7012 Councilmember Jim Schultz Council Phone816)325-7022 Fax816)325-7012 E-mail: onelaw3@swbell.net **Also, please go to Ms. Castillos website (the woman who started the petition) so that you can counter some of the false information she is putting out there to get people to sign her petition. http://stoppitbullattacks.com/** http://www.examiner.net/stories/0612...61206002.shtml

I don't know how anyone with a shred of intelligence could consider boxers as a dangerous breed. It is common knowledge in the dog world that boxers are one of the most gentle breeds to have around children.

They want to outlaw Boxers?
Half the people in Kansas City would have to move out. |
