Answer 3

Miami-Dade County is the only county in Florida with a ban on pit bulls. The county imposed the rule in 1989, a move that sparked the state ban on breed-specific regulations a year later. Miami-Dade's pit bull ban was grandfathered in as an exception.

Fort Lauderdale officials for years have sought to ban dangerous dogs, at least in public places such as the beach. Mayor Jim Naugle said the bill would give his city more flexibility to take measures against aggressive breeds - requiring pit bulls to be muzzled in public, for example.
