| UPDATE: 08/22/2006 During a meeting with the Mayor and several council members last night, a concern was presented that ownership of farm animals and various other pets other than "pit bull" dogs would be threatened by parts of this ordinance. The response was "Well, that certainly wasn't the intent of the Ordinance." and ""Well, you are worrying too much, common sense will prevail in those instances." To the Mayor and those council members that think it is okay to write something into law and then rely on "common sense" to persuade it's enforcement we would like to note the following: |
|
KRS 258.225 Peace officers and
animal control officers required to perform duties -- |
|
This means that if the ordinance is passed it will become LAW and therefore the LMAS and LMPD will be required to enforce it regardless of what common sense tells them. And with the way the ordinance is currently written, citizens will not be allowed to go to court over it. |
