Draconian Ohio Breed-Specific Bill Introduced
[Tuesday, May 20, 2008]
Ohio House Bill 568, introduced by Representative Tyrone Yates of
Cincinnati, seeks to prohibit the ownership, keeping, or harboring of a
dog that "belongs to a breed that is commonly known as a pit bull dog."
Furthermore, if this bill is passed and adopted into law, all such dogs
will be seized and euthanized. It is imperative that all concerned dog
owners in Ohio contact their elected representatives and express their
vehement opposition to this draconian legislation.
The American Kennel Club supports reasonable, enforceable,
non-discriminatory laws to govern the ownership of dogs. The AKC
believes that dog owners should be responsible for their dogs. We
support laws that: establish a fair process by which specific dogs are
identified as "dangerous" based on stated, measurable actions; impose
appropriate penalties on irresponsible owners; and establish a
well-defined method for dealing with dogs proven to be dangerous. The
American Kennel Club strongly opposes any legislation that determines a
dog to be "dangerous" based on specific breeds or phenotypic classes of
dogs.
HB 568 unacceptably provides that:
* No person shall own, keep, or harbor a dog that belongs to a
breed that is commonly known as a pit bull dog.
* No later than 90 days after the effective date of this bill, a
person who owns, keeps, or harbor a pit bull dog will be forced to
surrender the dog to a dog warden.
* Within ten days of surrender, the dog warden shall euthanize the dog.
* If an officer has probable cause to believe that a dog is a pit
bull, the officer may apply for a search warrant. After obtaining a
search warrant, an officer shall seize the dog and transfer the dog to
the dog warden, who shall euthanize the dog within 10 days.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
All concerned Ohio dog owners should contact their elected
representatives and express their strong opposition to HB 568. To find
