Thanks Jo for the information below.
I received a note from a concerned citizen in Mobridge, South Dakota. Police Chief Mike Nehls advised the city council that they were experiencing an upward trend in vicious dog calls, and he wants to change the city’s vicious dog ordinance. He told the council that he has been researching the matter and that many communities have outlawed certain breeds. He went on to advise that he wants to draft an ordinance that would require owners of certain breeds to carry a high insurance liability and to install fencing that meets ordinance standards.
Chief Nehls went on to say that there are more and more pit bulls being brought into the city and that pit bulls have a disposition for aggressive behavior.
Please send your POLITE AND RESPECTFUL opposition to breed specific legislation to the Mobridge city officials listed below. Please also send viable alternatives and other suggestions for their consideration, as well. E-mail contact is only available for one official, however, a fax number for the city clerk is listed below.

The next council meeting is Monday, June 1, 2009. A Mobridge resident is trying to raise public awareness on the police chief’s proposal, and would like to get as much attendance at the next council meeting as possible. If you are able to attend the meeting this Monday, June 1, please drop me a line at rescue@blessthebullys.com , and I will put you in touch with him.
