TX-RPOA E-News From Responsible Pet Owners Alliance, the reasonable voice regarding animal issues in Texas. Responsible Pet Owners Alliance is an animal welfare organization, not "animal rights" and, yes, there is a difference. Permission granted to crosspost. April 6, 2006 Thanks to all of you who contacted Killeen city officials regarding possible "pit bull" and Rottweiler Breed Specific Legislation. This issue has been sent back to the city advisory board on animal control for the time being. Killeen Mayor Jouett's message is below. ****************************************** -----Original Message----- From: Maureen Jouett [mailto:mjouett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 12:24 PM Subject: RE: Proposed "pit bull" /Rottweiler regulation Thank you for your email. Your information regarding the intention of the city council is incorrect. This subject was brought before the city council during workshop on Tuesday. There was not a consensus of the council members to enact breed specific legislation however vicious or dangerous animals (and the processes to identify and handle them) will be addressed. This was referred to our city advisory board on animal control for review and recommendations. No action will be taken until a recommendation comes back to the council at a future date.
