City Council to discuss vicious animal ordinance

The Mason City City Council will meet for a work session Tuesday and discuss a vicious animal ordinance.

Councilman Jeff Marsters has brought this issue up in the past, including last December after a mail carrier was attacked by a pit bull dog.

At that time, Marsters told NorthIowaToday.com “I sent (an) email a while ago (to City staff). Similar to one I sent early this summer after another pit bull attack. Answered, that staff was currently reviewing our code, but nothing ever moved that time.”

Marsters also contacted other City officials, asking “Gentlemen, what can we do? The potential for a fatality continues to grow. I hate to think we are going to wait for a death to deal with the growing number of pit-bulls owned by irresponsible owners.”

One pit bill owner told NorthIowaToday.com on Friday that “I was walking my dog (a pit bull) last week, minding my own business, as an older lady approached me on the sidewalk with her little dog. She picked up her dog, clutching it in her arms, and screamed at me that I have no right to have a ‘dog like that.'”|
