Judges affirms Louisville's dog law
Louisville, Ky. | May 11, 2008 12:01:13 AM IST
A judge in Kentucky has upheld the city of Louisville's dangerous-dog law, ruling that it was properly approved by the Metro Council Dec. 20. Jefferson Circuit Judge Martin McDonald in February rejected two older versions of the law, ruling that the council's Democratic caucus met improperly, without notifying the public of a location change, the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal reported Saturday. In his ruling Friday, McDonald said that neither the city nor the Louisville Kennel Club and the League of Kentucky Sportsmen notified the court about the December 2007 ordinance, even though they were aware of its passage. He said the city's most recent ordinance was passed correctly and accomplished its goal by the illuminating light of day with ample opportunity for public discussion. Attorney Jon Fleischaker, who represented the Kennel Club and the sportsmen's group, argued that the December 2007 version, like the one passed in April 2007, amends an invalid law and should be rejected by the court, the newspaper reported.
