Blaine Braithewaite, head of the South Bluefield Neighborhood Association, asked if the ordinance was breed specific. Feuchtenberger said the ordinance adds pit bulls and wolf-hybrids or wolf-mixed breeds as two breed-specific animals.
Board member Jim Bailey said he saw someone walking a pitt bull without a muzzle while on his way to Tuesday’s meeting. Bailey asked if any police officer could enforce the ordinance if they viewed such a violation. Feuchtenberger said any police officer could enforce the ordinance.
The ordinance states that no person shall permit a registered pit bull or wolf hybrid to go outside of its kennel or pen unless the dog is secured with a leash no longer than six feet in length and under the control of a person 18 years of age or older with a physical ability to control the animal. The ordinance further states that all pit bull dogs or wolf-hybrids must be muzzled by a muzzling device when outside of the animal’s kennel.
