"The people who breed dogs to do vicious things and who allow dogs to do vicious things aren't going to get a collar and those are exactly

the dogs we want to take off the street," Cranley said.



"If I'm walking down the street with my dog and it has a bright yellow collar on because that's what the city says they have to wear,

that tells people that my dog is mean even if my dog is not mean," Blanton said.



The ordinance outlines a collar would cost $50 from the city but any pit bull not wearing the designated collar, could be "removed" or

"seized" by police or a dog warden.



"Dogs who may be heading in the wrong direction by bad owners would then be confiscated and then be re-positioned into a more loving family,"

Cranley said.
