The Star-Tribune of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn., recently began publishing a map of dangerous dogs in the city. The information is provided by Minneapolis Animal Care and Control and St. Paul Animal Control, and was most recently updated in mid-May.
The map allows users to filter by breed and distinguishes between “dangerous dogs” (those who have caused serious bodily harm, killed a pet, or who are repeat attackers) and “potentially dangerous dogs” (those have bitten, chased, or menaced people or pets). When you click on a dog location, the address and name of the owner appear.
Although I’m sure that many owners may be unhappy that their address and name appear on a public map labeling them as having a dangerous dog, this could also be a good tool for law enforcement as well as parents who want to know if dogs in any given neighborhood could be a threat to local residents or their own families.
Visit the map here.
Thanks for the tip.
