San Antonio City Council Approves Controversial Ordinance (Texas)

New Pet Ordinance Approved San Antonio City Council Approves Controversial Ordinance

SAN ANTONIO -- Local pet owners take notice – the city of San Antonio has a new ordinance with many new rules.

City Council members spent most of Thursday discussing the ordinance before unanimously passing it.

The ordinance includes new definitions defining dangerous animals, fines for animal cruelty, licensing for breeders and other fees.

Thirty residents – both for and against the ordinance – spoke before the council voted.

Effective immediately, animals deemed dangerous will have to wear a special collar, be kept in an enclosure, be muzzled when outside the enclosure and will have a microchip implanted by the city.

Owners will also have to post warning signs alerting of the dangerous animal.

Jef Hale, the director of Animal Care Services, said his staff will do their best to balance public safety as well as the rights of pet owners.

American Pit Bull Terriers Suffering BSL

If we don't stand up for our dogs, our so called vicious beasts, no one will. The government will punish our well bred American pit bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers, Bull Terriers, and Staffordshire bull terriers.



Then they'll move towards taking the German shepherds, chow chows, akitas, huskies, malamutes, rottweilers, and dobermans, too.

After that, they'll resort to labs, retrievers, terriers, poodles, dalmatians, chihuahuas, shih tzus, great danes, schnauzers, and virtually every other breed left.

If we don't fight for our breed. Our AMERICAN pit bull terriers, and other bully breed dogs, we'll loose our American RIGHT to care and raise any dog, not approved by someone else.

Is that right? Is it fair?

I don't think so, which is why I'll be there fighting for my dogs.

Will you be there fighting for yours?
