You may recall that a few months ago, Governor Patrick signed into law An Act Further Regulating Municipal Animal Control.
The City of Boston has already noted that “the City’s pitbull regulations and rules will become void as of November 1, 2012.”
I am checking to see whether the City of Worcester will go in a similar direction regarding its pit bull ordinance, and whether residents who have had their dogs registered as pit bulls will be notified that they no longer need to do anything different than other dog owners.
More to come in this space soon, I hope.
Nicole, It was my understanding that statewide all BSL were nullified regardless if the city wanted or not as of Oct. 31. Here is a link to the MSPC page with further information. Needless to say my household is VERY excited to have this silly ordinance no longer in effect.
