The community of Streator, IL unanimously approved a new law that will focus resources on dogs with complaints of being aggressive vs just singling out "pit bulls". The previous breed-specific law was passed "several years ago".
Streator is a small community of about 14,000 people in North-Central Illinois -- and is the hometown of Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered the planet(?) Pluto.
The repeal of their breed specific legislation is part of a trend across the nation of cities that are beginning to realize that the laws are not an effective way of dealing with dog bites in their communities.
Yeah banning Pitbulls always sounds like a good idea until somebody gets bitten by a Lab mix. Which usually doesn't take too long.
