Hays commission weighs ‘dangerous’ label, but no outright ban, for pit bulls

HAYS, Kan. (AP) — City commissioners in Hays could vote this week on strict new rules for pit bull owners.

Pit bulls would not be banned in the northwest Kansas community.

But a proposed ordinance would declare the dogs to be “dangerous” — a designation that would trigger several requirements.

Owners would have to keep any pit bulls confined securely, obtain insurance and provide identification microchips. They would also have to pay a registration fee of $50 a year, and keep the dogs muzzled and leashed if they’re out in public.

The commission is expected to take up the proposal at its meeting Thursday night.
