Mansfield To Possibly Enforce Stiffer Penalties for Vicious Dog Owners

Mansfield City Council is looking to possibly enforce some stiffer penalties for dog owners, whose pets cause injury or harm to others. 

 This stems from recent attacks from pit bulls in the city, which Mansfield had preciously banned in the city limits.  However, the 5th Circuit Court said, you can’t be breed specific and so pit bulls are no longer banned in the city. Mansfield City Council is looking to change the language in the legislation and vote on it by November 21st.
