The city council passed the ordinance banning pit bulls at their meeting
last night. The details of same are set forth in my previous post below.
I just got off the phone with the Greenhills, Ohio city clerk. The
ordinance is short and sweet.
1. No person shall own, keep or harbor a "pit bull."
2. A "pit bull" as used in the ordinance shall mean any breed commonly
associated with the term, including American Pit Bull Terrier, American
Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier OR
any dog with the appearance or characteristics or PARTIAL
characteristics of said breeds.
3. Violators will be issued misdemeanor citations with degrees and
penalties that increase with each citation.
THERE IS NO CLAUSE THAT ADDRESSES "PIT
BULLS" ALREADY LIVING IN THE CITY. The clerk is of the
belief there is NO grandfather clause.
