Hearing on Amended Dog Ordinance

I got this message from Gary Rosen:

Please be aware that the Worcester City Council's Public Health & Human Services Committee (Rosen, Haller, and Rushton) will meet on Wednesday, December 2, 5:00 PM, Council Chambers, to hold a public hearing on the proposed dog ordinance. This amendment to the Revised Ordinances of 2008 would require dog owners to confine their dogs on private property either by a leash or a fence. Per the current City Ordinance relative to the confinement of dogs, leashing is only required when the dog is OFF the premises of the owner. The requested Ordinance amendment would extend this provision so as to require ALL dogs to be confined on private property as well, either by a leash, fence, a building or other suitable structure, or an enclosed animal transportation cage.
You are welcome to attend this important public hearing.

This will be in Esther Howland Hall. I may attend because I have questions about what this means for those who have invisible fences.
