Because of Daisy and Duke’s case and a few other similarly unique dangerous dog hearings over the last six months to a year, the county is currently in the process of revising the dangerous dogs ordinance and held public meetings about the draft revision on Sept. 3 in Santa Barbara and Sept. 4 in Santa Maria. The revisions outline two different labels—potentially dangerous dogs and vicious dogs—and lists a variety of punishments, fines, and requirements that can be levied against a dog and its owner, depending on what the charges against the dog are. The hearing officer can also elect to have a dog humanely destroyed, if it’s labeled a vicious dog.
