www.connietalk.com/whitehall_city_BSL_031008.htmlWhitehall City Council in Ohio will meet on Tuesday, March 18th, 2008 at 6:30-7:00 pm to hear testimony in opposition to the proposed Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) banning pit bulls in the city. We received a press release from Shana Klein, President of the Canine Advocates Of Ohio, requesting that anyone who is able to attend the Council meeting do so. "Everyone must attend the meeting to show that we are not going to allow Ohio cities to keep interfering with our rights to own companion animals," Shana wrote. "Please do not allow this proposed ban to pass. All people desiring to testify in opposition of the proposed ban will have three minutes to testify. Even if you do not like speaking, you must stand up for 3 minutes to support these dogs and stop another ban." Canine Advocates of Ohio ask that anyone who is a Whitehall resident, business owner, vet, trainer, or anyone in Northeast Ohio who desires to have a say in the BSL issue attend Whitehall City Council at 360 S. Yearling Rd., Whitehall, Ohio 43213. Additionally, to obtain information on drafting a letter to the City Council Members on this issue, you may contact Shana at shana@canineadvocatesofohio.org, or at their website here.

Suburb Considers Pit Bull Ban Wednesday, March 12, 2008 8:29 AM Print StoryE-mail StoryWHITEHALL, Ohio — A committee met on Tuesday night to discuss stricter laws for pit bull owners.
Pit bulls accounted for one-third of the dog bites reported to the Franklin County Animal Shelter last year, 10TV News reported.
While some of the dogs might be dangerous, some people believe that it is the owners that give them a bad reputation.
"People who own bad dogs, own bad dogs, regardless of breed, and they're going to continue to get bad dogs no matter what the breed is," said pit bull owner Anna Cluston. "If you outlaw on breed, they're going to move onto the next."
The cities of Bexley and Reynoldsburg have already banned pit bulls from their neighborhoods, 10TV News reported.
