Omaha Approves Dangerous Dog Ordinance
By Michael Morse | October 4, 2008
Omaha, Nebraska passed a law requiring owners to put a muzzle on their pit-bulls and other dogs deemed by the City to be dangerous. The law defines dangerous by the breed of the dog and includes any dog that would bite when unprovoked or would chase people down the streets. However, dogs that pass a canine good citizen test will not be compelled to wear a muzzle, but will be required to wear a vest at all times. Moreover, the ordinance restricts the time that a dog can be tied up outdoors, limiting this to 15 minutes under the supervision of someone at least 19 years of age. Failure to comply with the Omaha ordinance can result in the owner’s forfeiture of the dog.
