Pit Bull Ban Stands
Sad news. The Council Bluffs pit bull ban will stand:
A Pottawattamie County judge Monday rejected an effort to stop enforcement of a pit bull ban. Dan Curnyn filed the lawsuit in an attempt to stop Council Bluffs’ new ban on pit bulls, saying his dog “Marley” is anything but vicious.
“You’ll get hurt if you trip over her in the middle of the night,” Curnyn said.
Marley is diabetic, blind and crippled, but under the new ordinance, Marley must be licensed and insured for at least $100,000, which she is. Curnyn must have a “beware of dog” sign, and a 6-foot fence around his yard, which he does.
Even though Marley is in compliance, the new law prohibits Curnyn from getting a new pit bull.
In other news, Pit Bulls are mean and sticky:
“It’s just wrong,” said Zachary Straight. “I understand there might be a few viscous ones. I ain’t saying there aren’t some vicious ones. But I don’t understand how they can come up with an ordinance and put all the pit bulls out.”
All is not lost as the bill will be enforced until a final ruling:
Even though the judge denied the temporary restraining order, he did set a trial date to decide whether to permanently enjoin the city from imposing the pit bull ban. It will be heard June 2.
