Morgan County, Indiana - The local Humane Society is pushing for an ordinance that would require dogs in the county to be spayed or neutered. This comes as a result of an 83 year old man who was mauled to death by four dogs, none of which were neutered.

Plattsburgh, New York - City council members modified the city's leash law such that dogs must be leashed at all times when not fenced in. Previously, the law allowed owners to take them off-leash if the dog would obey commands. This came as a result of a pit bull that attacked another dog.
