We’ve been telling you for the last couple of months the city of Logan is stepping up their vicious dog ordinance.

Enforcement of new laws will start next week. November 20th, which is next Tuesday, is the last day you have to register your dog.

The breeds that fit the requirement are Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinchers, Rottweilers or any dog of the Wolfe species.

There is a fee of $300 to register the animal. If the dog is not registered by the Tuesday deadline the city will quarantine the dog.

Why do you people try to put out there the half of the owners of pits ect... are drug dealers. What about single mothers that have them for protection and can't afford anything else on her plate. Do you think I have the money for a poodle? and lab...a home security system..umm Nope sure don't if you take care of you pet they will take care of you as well. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but before throwing it out there know what you are talking about. Thanks

It's sad and ridiculous that people who make laws regarding animals are so ignorant of the animals they seek to regulate, but it's even sadder when such people, who make laws that impact others, cannot even SPELL a first-grade spelling word! The word "wolf" does NOT have an "e" on the end, folks-this goes to show what happens when illiterate, uneducated people wind up in public office. Not only that, but apparently the genius behind this law(and I use that term with much sarcasm) didn't bother to do any research beyond the sensationalistic fear-mongering headlines. Since 1993, ALL domesticated dogs, of every breed, have been scientifically designated as Canis LUPUS familiaris-a mutated sub-species of WOLF. Every dog on the planet is of the "Wolf species"(again, no "e" in "wolf), so basically, that part restricts ALL dogs! Further, there is no one breed of dog called a "pit bull"; that is a media-fed catch-phrase for any shorthaired dog that someone is scared of.

The problem is that only decent law abiding pet owners will register their dogs, not the drug dealers who keep these animals for status and protection of their drug kingdom
