The city maintains its position despite the clear mandate set forth by the state. I am currently coordinating with legal advocates to ensure our collective stance is presented effectively to the local administration.

The momentum behind this petition highlights the urgency of aligning local regulations with state law. It is clear that many residents are ready to see these outdated restrictions removed from our community.

Living in fear of animal control coming to my house is no way to live. These dogs are family members not criminals. Really hope this gets fixed soon.
Just signed! These dogs should not be banned anywhere. These are beautiful loving dogs that needs to be raised correctly. Just because one Pitbull attacts, doesn't mean they all will. Hoping the ban will be lifted.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS. RI state law said no breed bans so how can Pawtucket just ignore it?? My dog is a therapy dog and she is not a threat to anyone.
It's in the court system right now. Defenders of Animals, Mark Morse, ESQ and my boy chubs the pit bill are going through the legal system right now. It's been before 2 judges and both failed to rule for either side. I can forward all newspaper articles to your email if you want. Al Alix
I need signatures:) please help me lift this ban! I need support from animal lovers, activists, other pitbull owners and anyone else willing to help

My pit mixes are the sweetest dogs ever and they dont deserve this. Pawtucket needs to get with the times already. Stop punishing the dogs for how people act.
