Okay...here is the skinny, the information has been incorrect and a little misleading.  I think I have it straight now...

Lanett, ALA is the one that passed their BSL last night!!!  NOT Valley, it is thought that Valley, which is about 10 miles away, will be proposing a similar ordinance by taking the lead from Lanett.  Lanett got their idea from Irondale, ALA ordinance.

The dogs banned are:

The dogs  "Pit Bulls" defined as per breed (APBT,

AmStaff, Staffie, Bull Terrier) and Presa Canarios.

Marcy will be posting more on this and I should have the ordinance before the day is out....I hope...grrrr

Although I was told via telecon a few minutes ago from ALA that the Mayor from Lanett and the family of a dog bite victim are now going to take the ordinance that they just passed to Montgomery to the Capitol and attempt to lobby for a similar bill state wide....grrrrrr

portion of a note follows:

**NOTE** Rep Cam Ward has introduced HB164. This bill pertains to defining

dogs as dangerous and is not breed specific. The Alabama Humane Federation

 is asking us to support that bill so that they may use that as an example

of an alternative to breed specific legislation in the hopes that

 municipalities in the state of Alabama would model ordinances after that,

rather than BSL. I attached a copy of that bill.
