San Antonio steps up policy enforcement following last month's deadly West Side dog attack
Following last month's deadly dog attack, San Antonio's Animal Control Services is stepping up policies and penalties related to dangerous canines, according to a memo from City Manager Erik Walsh sent to Mayor Ron Nirenberg. The memo, set Tuesday, follows outrage over a Feb. 24 attack on the West Side that killed 81-year-old Air Force Veteran Ramon Najera Jr. and wounded his wife and first responders. Instead of civil penalties, ACS will issue criminal citations to the owners of dogs who leave their property and bite residents, according to Walsh.
