In other action Tuesday, the council’s Rules Committee held preliminary discussions on revising the city’s dangerous-dog ordinance to restrict or ban certain breeds, such as pit bulls. Weill, who chairs the committee, favored a breed-specific ordinance.
Weill said he would ask the city’s animal-control officers to provide information about dog attacks in the city and take up the matter later.
The council passed an ordinance in 2006 requiring owners to register dogs deemed dangerous by city officials and keep them inside or in an enclosure. The measure did not name specific breeds.
Ridgeland passed an ordinance earlier this year limiting owners of pit bulls and several other breeds deemed dangerous to one dog per household. Officials in Madison have considered a ban on certain breeds.
