The Ohio Supreme
Court decision Ohio v Cowan upholds part of
Judge Gormans ruling in ACF's challenge that
a hearing has to take place to prove a dog
is dangerous. If you read the SYLLABUS OF
THE COURT below it states 955:22 fails to
provide dog owners an oppurtunity to heard
on whether a dog is vicious or dangerous
under 955:11 (A) (4) (a) that is the section
which defines the Pit Bull as "vicious".
Before a Pit Bull can be required to be
muzzled and insured a hearing will have to
take place to determine if its dangerous.
