Dear Members and Friends,
“Pit Bull Terrier Dogs and Short-Haired Muscular Mutts Being Seized”
According to reports, Sikeston has seized approximately 20 dogs from families that they are alleging are “pit bulls,” citing their current breed-discriminatory ordinance as the reason for the seizure. We all want safe and humane communities, but studies show that breed-discriminatory laws fail to protect public safety. Breed prejudice also deprives people of their property rights -- their pets.
Please CALL the mayor and the city council members and ask them to enact a good generic dangerous-dog/reckless-owner ordinance to protect citizens against any dangerous dog and prevent reckless owners from owning pets. Ask them to repeal their breed-discriminatory ordinance, as Wentzville, Town and Country, Manchester, and Chesterfield have done, and reunite these pets with their owners.
Politics is not a spectator sport. Thanks for taking action for animals.
You can click this Take Action button to email the city council, but polite phone calls are the most effective way to get the city council to act. Their phone numbers are listed below.

Mayor Jerry Pullen 573-472-0654
