Two Yazoo City aldermen are at odds on a ordinance that would ban pit bulls.
Ward 4 Alderman Aubrey Brent says he wants to be proactive before someone gets hurt.
He says pit bulls seem to be the most vicious breed.
That's why he would like a ban on them.
But Ward 2 Alderman Jack Varner says a ban doesn't make sense.
That's because all dogs can bite.
He recommends enforcing an ordinance already in place.
"Everyone knows that when a pit bites down on you, his jaws are made in such a way as to they lock," said Brent.
"We do have a good set of leash laws and if they were followed to the letter, I think we would be okay," said Varner.
It's a topic that's created quite a controversy in Yazoo City.
No word yet on when -- or even if -- aldermen will pass a ban.
