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.
