Wheatfield - Niagara County - a mounting campaign to address recent attacks
by dogs have raised concerns that tougher restrictions are needed to keep the
animals on a tighter leash or even on a leash at all. Dogs that have the
reputation of being used as urban fight dogs or tools in the illegal drug trade
are the ones that worry parents and dog owners the most. Pit bulls and
Rottweilers were the breeds most residents mentioned when interviewed about dog
control. No proposals as of yet but some residents are pushing for changes in
the animal control ordinance The Town Board has scheduled a public hearing
at 7 p.m. Feb. 11 at the community center, where residents can provide input
on whether there should be a limit on the number of dogs a resident may own,
among other aspects of the town ordinance.
