8 <br /> 6) Choke chains infer that the dog is large enough, and aggressive enough that the owner cannot physically control the <br /> dog with strap type leash. This alone should be sufficient to require a muzzle in public spaces. Also, smart dogs or a dog <br /> just thrashing in attempt to be aggressive can lunge then back up out of a choke chain and then potentially cause injury to <br /> other dogs or owners. The ordinance could require some type of stop be applied to the choke chain to prevent it slacking <br /> up and keep it snugged against the dogs neck enough that it cannot slip over the head. A simple D-link, or snap hook, or <br /> spring hook, or clovis pin could be used to accomplish this and most are available at hardware stores. I apologize in <br /> advance if some of these issues are already incorporated in the ordinance. Due to intubation injuries to my vocal cords <br /> during recent surgery I cannot speak clearly or with adequate volume. I am requesting accommodation. <br /> Submitted By: <br /> Joseph M.

Williams, <br /> I apologize for not responding sooner to your email. It's been a busy week. <br /> y recommendation is that you approach the Animal Services Advisory Board (A A ) <br /> before you approach the Board of County Commissioners. The ASAB is a board <br /> consisting of residents appointed by our commissioners to work with staff as well as <br /> the BOCC on policy matter. The board has been very involved in amending our <br /> ordinance including creating Orange County's Unified Animal Ordinance. <br /> z <br />
