Louisville's Animal Ordinance overturned

 02/27/2008


Louisville's controversial Dog ordinance has been overturned!
Judge MacDonald ruled today, 2/27/08, that the Louisville Metro Council violated the state Open Meetings Act when it passed its animal control ordinance on 12/19/06. As a result, the judge has voided that law, and all subsequently amended versions. The animal control law in Louisville now reverts, per Judge MacDonald's order, to the law that was in effect on 12/18/06. More information to follow as it becomes available.

But the fight is not over. Another lawsuit that challenges the constitutionality of the ordinance is still pending in court and that costs money.
