San Francisco Passes Pit Bull Law Targeting Dog Owners

San Francisco Passes Law Targeting Pit Bull Dogs

Following in the footsteps of Denver's City Council, yesterday San Francisco's Board of Supervisors passed a law targeting pit bull dogs.  The new ordinance is designed a reaction to another vicious dog bite attack  where a 12-year-old boy was mauled to death.  The ordinance takes effect January 1, 2006, and requires owners to spay or neuter the breed, and get breeding permits from the city.
