Jackson TN Seeks To Impose Anti-Pet Ordinance & Criminalize Dog Ownership

The Jackson, Tennessee city council is considering an anti-pet ordinance that criminalizes pet ownership, violates the constitutional rights of local dog-owning citizens, and will increase the number of pets euthanized.

The American Rottweiler Club is adamantly opposed to anti-pet legislation as ineffective and even dangerous in the prevention of dog bites and the protection of animals.
