It is now illegal to have an unregistered pit bull in the city of Fayette. A new ordinance bans any new pit bulls within city limits and requires current owners of pit bulls and several other dangerous breeds to register their pets. Pit bull owners who do not register their pets face a fine of $500 or jail time. The law was introduced in June after a Fayette woman sustained permanent injuries in a pit bull attack.
Pit bulls are a highly aggressive breed of dog. They have been known to break windows and doors, snap chains, and gnaw through fences to attack unsuspecting victims. Avoiding these and other dangerous breeds of dogs can help prevent dog bites. According to CDC statistics, the most dangerous breeds of dogs are pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Chow Chows, and wolf hybrids. However, even the most docile breeds can attack without warning or provocation. If you have been attacked by a dangerous dog in Birmingham, or anywhere else in Alabama, you should contact an experienced Birmingham dog bite injury lawyer immediately.
