OTTUMWA ONLINE POLL ON PIT BULL RESTRICTIONS

Ottumwa online poll on pit bull restrictions

The City of Ottumwa has released results of a poll on its website regarding restrictions on pit bulls and other breeds.  The first question asked was: should the City keep breed-specific language in place where pit bulls are banned from being in the city limits.  By a three to one margin, respondents said “No.”  Next, should the current ban be lifted and any breed of dog be allowed.  Respondents said “Yes” by a three to one margin.  And finally, should any breed be allowed in Ottumwa’s city limits with restrictions in place for so-called high risk animals, like microchipping or insurance.  The vote here was closer, with “No” winning by just over 100 votes.  Again, this is a poll that was taken on the City of Ottumwa website.
