Vicious Animal Law Under Review in Rector
Mayor, Police Chief Agree Pit Bulls are More DangerousRector, AR - Another
Arkansas town is reviewing its vicious dog ordinance and another
police chief speaks pointedly at pit bulls. Police Chief Tommy Baker says that pit bulls are the most dangerous breed there is because t
hey don't let go."Unlike German Shepherds and Dobermans, a pit bull is bred to not let go once it bites. That causes more damage and makes them more dangerous."
Mayor Ron Kemp agrees. He says, "I think if you went to the people in town who were concerned about vicious dogs and told them you were going to put an ordinance into effect which required Pit Bulls to be kept in a pen, 90 percent of them would be happy."
Common sense is prevailing in Rector city. Because of this, future victims will be spared.
Other cities have enacted breed-specific measures in the state of Arkansas, and the State Supreme Court has upheld these ordinances as constitutional including: Maumelle, Pine Bluff, Russellville, Sherwood and Siloam Springs.
