"Should the city ban pitbulls or put
restrictions on their owners? It’s a question Auburn City
councilman Kevin Hanley has put forward to city staff. In a
recent memo, Hanley asks city manager Bob Richardson and
Police Chief Valerie Harris to consider a pitbull ordinance to
be placed on a future city agenda."
CHAKO urges everyone to contact Kevin Hanley
and the city council members and express your disapproval with
them targeting a specific breed of dog (and
remind them that, pursuant to Section 31683 of the California
Food and Agricultural Code, no city or county can ban or
restrict ownership of Pit Bulls, except for basic spay/neuter
laws).

Robert Richardson, City Manager

Also please consider contacting the other
city officials:
As a dog-loving community, all California
dog owners must deal with this proposed breed restriction
promptly and in a decisive manner. If Auburn implements BSL,
expect other communities to quickly follow.
And, yes, this will affect BREEDS OTHER THAN
Pit Bulls!
