<br /> <br />Proposed Amendment for Dangerous Animals Ordinance -- #3 <br />Amy Ihlan <br /> <br />I move to delete 501. 16(A)(2) (definition of "potentially dangerous animal") and <br />50 1.16(C) (registration of "potentially dangerous animals") and to remoye all other <br />references to "potentially dangerous animals" from the ordinance. <br /> <br />All animals are currently required to be restrained, licensed, and vaccinated under our <br />existing ordinances. The proposed new provisions for "declaration and registration of <br />potentially dangerous animals" do not add anything to these requirements, other than the <br />possibility of requiring obedience classes. <br /> <br />I think the city should focus the attention of this Ordinance on controlling dangerous <br />animals, and continue to enforce existing leash, license and vaccination laws for all other <br />animals. If, after some experience, this scheme turns out to be inadequate, the Council <br />could reconsider the "potentially dangerous" classification or other kinds of regulations <br />as appropriate. <br />
