Kansas City and Independence passed ordinances restricting pit bull ownership. Kansas City's law requires pit bulls to be spayed or neutered, while Independence's bans new pit bulls and requires registration of those within the city when the ordinance was enacted.
good news, Pit bulls no longer banned in Cincinnati.
No.
