My statement was that I did not see a reference to a leash law in the ordinance. I do not see a reference to a leash law on the animal control site either.d

I'm not a lawyer so saying, "this guy on ToTV told me..." won't help much in court. But if a poster is going claim that something is law then they sure ought to be able to point to some official source to back them up.

That question and statement were for TravelHunter who made the assertion. I was not asking the general board and I was not asking Animal Control, though if someone had an applicable link it would be helpful. TravelHunter made the assertion several times so they must have authoritative info to back it up. Their contact info might be useful but I'm sure he/she will see my post and reply (or not).

The Animal Control contact info is great for the OP.
