CITIZEN COMMENTS Elizabeth Wainwright, 7204 Dartmouth Ms. Wainwright is an Animal Health Officer for the Missouri Dept of Agriculture. She said all dogs can be dangerous. Therefore, you should require liability insurance on every dog. She would like to see the bill postponed until Council can make an intelligent decision about the coverage of all dangerous dogs. The question is how you define dangerous dogs. Ms. Wainwright said she would volunteer to chair or be on a committee planning an effective and fair ordinance that would regulate dangerous dogs. Richard Dockett, 6844 Crest Ave Mr. Dockett felt the question on dangerous dogs is about the amount of liability insurance coverage carried by the dog’s owner.
