Dog bites worry city Some say Kaysville needs ordinance targeted at pit bulls ByRUTHMALAN Standard-Examin- correspondent KAYSVILLE - Council- man Darrell Home thinks the city needs an ordinance outlawing pit bulls within the city limits. But Davis County Animal Control director De Anne Hess said the county already has an ordinance to cover vicious and dangerous dogs, so the city doesnt need another ordinance. The council tabled the resolution at its meeting last week and will seek more information. There were 623 animal bites within Davis County during 1997, according to Hess. Of these bites, only 10 were by pit bulls. Another 35 were chows while German shepherds and spaniels each bit 54 times; terriers, 18; mixed breed large dogs, 276; mixed breed small dogs, 73; and cats 95. There were eight bites listed as other." Hess told the city council that the city does not need a breed specific ordinance. Our animal control ordinance already has provisions for potentially dangerous, dangerous and vicious dogs, Hess said. And a dog doesn't have to bite to be considered dangerous. If Animal Control sees a potential problem, the dog is watched. We have had incredible success with the ordinance, Hess said. If Animal Control moves for the abatement of an animal, a board consisting of a member of the city, the Humane Society and others may hold a hearing. In the past 10 years we have had a dozen heanngs, of those only one decision was turned around and that one was a Kaysville dog that had to get an insurance bond and be moved to another location," she explained.
