Nebraska town of Osceola bans pit bulls

Osceola officials say they know of only one such dog currently in their east-central Nebraska town.

[curious]

What happened to the "Grandfather clause"?
I can understand not being allowed to replace the pet w/the same breed....BUT only a few days to comply????? This is unreal.
I can't say I care for these breeds of dogs, but if it were me.......the city would be talking to my lawyer.

Yes, she is a pitbull but she has done no harm to anyone. The owners have complied with the city ordinance of Osceola then the city decides to change the ordinance to ban pitbulls from town.
Due to a complaint of a bigwig. This pit is neutered and female and is a sweetheart.

Although other dogs in town run a muck and bite others it's okay for those breeds to be in town.

It is idiotic to have a dog ordinance for just specific breeds. It should be for all dogs and owners. Here's a tip: ALL DOGS BITE!! Not just pitulls.

Now this family has to move and they have done no harm to anyone. All they wanted to do was live a happy and peaceful life in Osceola near their family with their pitbull.

It is sad to see the wealthy in town have nothing better to do than to bother those who are trying to make a decent living.

I feel it to be idiotic for the city council to pass this ban because ALL DOGS BITE!!
