A thorough analysis of the ordinance has not be performed on this forum so I don't know if "most" of the law addresses one area over another. I only see reactions to a commentary opposing the law. I'd like to see the commentary from the lawmakers supporting the law to provide a balanced perspective.

I've reviewed the ordinance and I don't care if this definition violates "the rights of dog owners".

CRUELTY. Failing to provide adequate food and water; failing to detect the need for or withholding veterinary care; creating or allowing unhealthful living conditions, infliction of suffering, injury, or death to an animal by striking, beating, dropping, kicking, dragging, choking, or by the use of an object or weapon; causing pain, injury, or death by means of caustic, flammable, boiling, or heated

I agree with KennelMom, it is up to the Louisville citizens to challenge, hold the lawmakers accountable for, and modify the law.

That sounds good. I was talking about the other parts of the law.

I just noticed there is another thread that covers Louisville:
