On Thursday, February 23, 2006 a article was featured in the Springfield News-leader highlighting City Councils proposed Pit Bull ban. The article stated that a verdict would be reached in as little as two weeks and the following would be instated: "The Springfield City Council Plans and Policies Committee will consider a citywide ban on pit bull dogs at its noon meeting Friday in the fourth floor conference room of the Busch Municipal Building, 840 Boonville. Public discussion and input is not allowed in committee meetings. For details, call 864-1443. PROVISIONS The proposed ordinance would prohibit ownership of American pit bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers or any dog displaying the majority of characteristics of these breeds. Exceptions would be granted to those who owned pit bulls before the ordinance was approved, if they comply with the following. The dogs must be: Registered with the city, every year, for a fee. Vaccinated for rabies. Identified by a collar tag. Owned by a person at least 21. Covered by a minimum $100,000 liability insurance policy. Spayed or neutered. Implanted with a microchip, showing the name and address of the owner. Confined to a space the dog can not exit on its own. Leashed and muzzled when away from the owner's property. Declared on the owner's property with a sign reading "pit bull dog" in 2-inch-tall letters. In addition, if the ordinance is approved, pit bulls could no longer be bought or sold in Springfield, nor could new dogs be brought into town. Pit bull puppies born in Springfield would have to be removed by the time they were weaned or be turned over to the city to be destroyed."
The proposed ban is nothing more than a canine holocaust - we must urge City Council to punish the deed and not the breed. Responsible pet owners and their gentle dogs are being unfairly punished with these unreasonable, costly demands.

It is past time for officials and media to realize that ordinancing to dogs will NEVER solve any issues. Laws need to be directed (AND ENFORCED) at irresponsible PEOPLE!

I just moved here from CA. I am appalled at the way some people treat their dogs. The dog in the yard behind me sometimes does not have any water for days (luckily I am here to feed and water him when his owners "forget"). Instead of a pit bull ordinance

I believe that dogs, like people, should be innocent until proven guilty. My dog (a terrier/greyhound mix) is my son's biggest protector and best friend. She has only known a loving environment and I would hate for her to be punished because of her looks.
