RACINE - The City Council will not be creating a stricter vicious dog ordinance, at least for now, said 7th District Alderman Ray DeHahn.

After hearing about too many people getting bitten by dogs, DeHahn proposed creating a stricter dog ordinance in March. His proposal included mandatory muzzles for dogs in public who have bitten someone.

But after reviewing the proposal with the city attorney, DeHahn said it would be too hard to enforce.

The city already has a "vicious animal" ordinance that forbids an animal from living in the city if, unprovoked, it bites or injures a person or pet twice in a year. Racine also has an ordinance that prohibits animals from running loose on public property.

The Racine Board of Health tabled the suggestion Tuesday night until new information can be found, DeHahn said.
