Nearly three months after a brutal dog attack that claimed the life of a Montreal woman, the city has passed its contentious pit bull ban.

City council voted Tuesday in favour of changes to its animal control bylaw that include a ban on new ownership of pit bull and pit bull-type dogs. The final vote was 37-23 in favour of the ban.

And this was despite the report by the Public Safety minister recommending restrictions not an outright ban.

Love those breeds. Had Rottweilers growing up and lots of friends with various pit bulls and other "dangerous" breeds.

I've been bit several times by dogs and it's always been from small ones. And cats too...


Anyway, hope this doesn't open a can of worms on the forum. I know this can be a controversial topic. Just made me sad, thought you should be sad too. Maybe it's not too late to reach out to your local representatives if you're Montreal.
