Missouri: SB 886 Regulates the Dog, Not the BreedSB 886 - Dangerous Dogs Sponsor(s): Senator Jolie Justus ASPCA Position: Support Action Needed: Please send letters to your state senator and members of the Missouri State Senate Economic Development, Tourism and Local Government Committee to express your support for this bill.Sponsored by Senator Jolie Justus, SB 886 would allow any Missouri village, town or city to adopt regulations to control vicious or dangerous dogs?but importantly, the bill prevents communities from discriminating against any breed of dog.Dogs are individuals: any dog can bite. Citizens should be protected from vicious and dangerous dogs of all breeds or mixes. Discriminating against certain breeds of dogs fails to protect the public and penalizes responsible dog owners.
