Montpelier may ban ownership of pit bulls

4/21/2003

MONTPELIER, Ohio — The village wants to ban some dogs.

The council passed the first reading last week of an ordinance that would prohibit pit bulls in town. There would be no grandfather clause for current owners of the dogs.

Council members agreed to give pit bull owners reasonable time to find another place for the dogs, provided they are in|sured properly. Ohio requires pit-bull owners to insure the dogs.
