Ridgeland postpones vote on dog ban
Aldermen may revise ordinance that would forbid certain breeds
Leah Square • leah.square@mcherald.com • October 8, 2008



RIDGELAND — City leaders had planned to vote Tuesday on a proposal banning certain dog breeds in the city but postponed the vote to gather more information and, possibly, soften the proposal.

The mayor and Board of Aldermen announced Monday they were considering amending the city's animal control ordinance to ban American pit bull terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers and Rottweilers. Also named were dogs whose mothers or fathers are one of those breeds, dogs resembling one of the named breeds and dogs deemed "vicious" by a Ridgeland Municipal Court judge.


City leaders Tuesday decided to table the measure after being inundated with phone calls and e-mails regarding the proposed ban. Several residents showed up for the board meeting Tuesday intending to voice concerns.


"It's a very emotional issue on both sides," Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee said.


McGee said the city may tweak its original proposal and revisit the issue at its next board meetings Oct. 20-21.


"We'll try to come up with something that does not penalize responsible animal owners and deal with those that are not responsible.
"

A breed-specific ban, however, is not off the table, McGee said.


The breed ban discussion comes after months of feuding between Pete and Gloria Grantham of 615 Ralde Circle and their next-door neighbor, April Scott, over the Granthams' pit bulls and Rottweiler.


Aldermen appear to be split on the possibility of an amendment that singles out certain breeds.


Gerald Steen, the alderman most vocally for a breed ban, said Tuesday he is willing to consider alternatives.


"We have a challenge in front of us. I am very open-minded to look and listen.
"

Alderman Scott Jones is against a breed ban and suggested instead amending the animal control ordinance to obligate owners of certain breeds to take "extra steps" in order to keep their dogs.


Jones also said he is unsure if citywide breed bans have been successful and would like to look further into those statistics before making a "knee-jerk" decision.


Clinton does not allow pit bulls or Rottweilers. Madison city leaders last month began talk of a pit bull ban.
