UPDATE: Possible West Fork Pit Bull Ban

By: Marissa Stevens
Updated: May 9, 2012
A possible ban on pit bulls in West Fork had many residents speaking their minds.

The West Fork City Council held a meeting Tuesday night that did not wrap up until 11p.m.

Several folks showed up and not a single person was in favor of the breed-specific ban.

According to Mayor Frances Hime, based on the discussions during the meeting, the council will most likely remove the pit bull ban from the ordinance and give greater penalties to vicious animals and irresponsible owners.

Hime also said she truly appreciates the community feedback and suggestions
