A Public meeting was held last night to discuss how to change the town of Yarmouths Dog Bylaw in light of a recent Pit bull attack in the area. It looks likely that the "BSL" part of the bylaw that would punish dogs based on breed alone will not go through. There seems to be a very strong, united message from people in and outside the town that this isn't a good solution. I also wrote to the mayor and Council as noted in my below post - and happily all this feedback (including my email) were posted on the Town's website for all to see.
The vanguard newspaper in the area published an article and used some of my comments:
