Webster eyes vicious-animal ordinance
By The Associated Press

WEBSTER -- If you plan to own a crocodile or water buffalo in Webster, think again.

City officials are leaning toward approval of an ordinance that will ban many exotic, and not-so-exotic, pets.

The measure is designed to deal with vicious animals. Among those that would generally be outlawed would be pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman pinschers, porcupines, ostriches, wart hogs and boa constrictors.

However, the new ordinance would exempt animals from being classified as vicious if their actions are consistent with protecting property.

"Those who do have a vicious dog already, will be grandfathered in," Webster Mayor Mike Grosik said.
