OMAHA (KPTM) - A local animal advocacy group calls a pit bull ban a "dangerous dog ordinance."

The American Pit Bull Rescue Association spoke out Friday, asking Omaha to take its time before considering a pit bull ordinance. The group brought out a pit bull owner and pit bull named Sammy to show how properly trained pit bulls behave.

It says the city should hold more public meetings during the next two months before even considering a ban.

 "It behooves the full range of problems be addressed before an ordinance is created because once you get to the council, the only question is what do you think of the ordinance, it's not does this ordinance encompass everything it should," said David Hibler, Sr., with the American Pit Bull Rescue Association. 

City leaders say they've already heard the group's concerns and have already planned to meet at least one more time before a committee makes any recommendations.

Committee members say several options are on the table including a ban or a law aimed at dog owners, but it could be several weeks before it makes a decision.
