Michigan City Considers Tightening the Leash on Pit Bulls and other breeds
By Michael Morse | September 23, 2008
A woman in Livonia, Michigan has urged the city council to strengthen its dangerous animal laws following an attack by two pit-bulls that left her injured. Livonia is the most recent Metro Detroit city to explore enacting more restrictive laws for ownership of “bully breed” and other dangerous dogs. City governments in Farmington Hills, Allen Park, and Redford Township are discussing passing or revising ordinances restricting bully breed and dangerous dog ownership by requiring the purchase of liability insurance, muzzles, microchips, and special licensing. Moreover, next month Southfield will revisit a plan to prohibit ownership of bully breeds.
Cities across Michigan, such as Grosse Pointe Woods, Waterford Township, Melvindale, and Ecorse already prohibit bully breeds, while Dearborn Heights, Muskegon Heights, Alma, Westland, Morenci and Roosevelt Park have all passed laws regulating pit-bull ownership.
