Noncompliant Pit Bull Owners Cited After Lakewood Hearing

MyFox Segment Tells Story
Lakewood, OH - At a recent public hearing about a proposed pit bull ban in the City of Lakewood, a group of pit bull owners spoke against it. These same pit bull owners, it turns out, were also lawbreakers. Ohio state law declares pit bulls as "vicious" and owners must comply with several rules including: registration, liability insurance and a special containment pen.

After the public hearing, Councilman Brian Powers asked the director of animal control to verify that the activists were compliant with current Ohio state law. Four of the pit bull owners who testified were not. Lakewood Animal Control agents then cited the pit bull owners, who then puckered up and said that their First Amendment rights had been violated. Powers had unjustly targeted them!

Classic! This just shows you how out of touch pit bull owners really are. They can't even bother to know and follow the laws they protest.

Brian Powers for President---Forget Mcain and Obama---this guy
cares about people first! Fear in politics is not a part of this man.

Caught red handed and in a red hat! I love it! Powers has these pit bull owners nailed. What a smart move to have them checked out for compliance.

"These regulations only punish responsible, law abiding pit bull owners."

Exactly what you'd expect to hear from an irresponsible, law breaking pit bull owner.

"You're going to chase all these good citizens out of here."

Hmmm. Promise?

"Only law abiding citizens allowed to speak here."

That should be the sign on the door.

I think most folks would be quite happy if uninsured fighting breed fanciers didn't live in their neighborhood!

These idiots are a perfect example of why a complete Ban is required.

Give them an inch and they'll take a mile! I can't believe someone could see all the six figure maulings and not carry insurance.

Pit owners are truly the drunk drivers of the dog owning world.

Another uninsured and unregistered Pit attacks a kid in Toledo. You would think the nutters would be on their best behavior...

Update: Ban passes with only one City Council member voting against it.
