Phelan eyes Lynn pit bull ban
By Robin Kaminski / The Daily Item

LYNN - City Council President Timothy Phelan said last week's brutal dog attack has stirred up a range of emotions and has resurrected the debate on a possible pit bull ban in Lynn.

Phelan said he met with City Solicitor Michael Barry and Animal Control Officer Kevin Farnsworth on Thursday and plans to meet with members of the police and the City Council next week to strategize ways to either ban the particular breed, or enforce stricter muzzle laws for safety measures.

In addition, Phelan said he requested a list of dog attacks in the city during the last five years from Farnsworth to look at the matter in further detail.

"We are going to aggressively pursue ways to increase fines, change ordinances and also attempt to ban pit bulls from the city," he said. "Right now it's in the hands of the law department to make sure whatever we do is bulletproof so to speak."

Phelan said he plans to take a look at decisions made in Lynn District Court regarding cases involving pit bulls in order to comply with the court system.

"I'm sure the majority of people who own pit bulls in the city are not trying to hurt people," he said. "Some people say it's the dog that's the problem and some say it's the owner, so we'll have to have a number of public hearings on the issue as we move forward over the next two to three months."
