Glidden, Iowa — The Glidden City Council will continue to review their animal ordinance following a discussion Monday night with local resident Dan Messerich. Messerich was asking for a change in the ordinance pertaining to vicious animals. His request came following an injury suffered by his dog and wife when they were chased by a pit bull.
The council discussed what other communities have for ordinances on breed specific and non-breed specific dogs. Glidden City Attorney Ray Snook informed the council on action taken against the pit bull owner in the Messerich situation saying she had agreed to remove the dog from city limits by September 1st and will pay restitution for the injuries to another dog.
The council will discuss the issue further at a later council meeting.
