City Adopts Shoot-If-Necessary Dog Law With Limitations
Four council members approve the ordinance despite three councilmen opposing it. The measure allows police to shoot a dog at night without notice if necessary, with Mayor Patton defending the approach and Councilwoman Lafroos noting few dog packs recently and the ordinance acting as a deterrent. George and Mrs. Gannett spoke against the law saying it risks police and dog owners and fails to solve wider problems.
