Mayor _Thomas  M. Menino_ 
(http://news.bostonherald.com/search/?searchSite=recent&keyword=Thomas M. Menino)  signed into law a city ordinance requiring pit 
bulls to be  muzzled in public and putting other limits on the controversial 
breed.  

   
The ordinance, which takes effect  immediately, requires the owners of pit 
bulls to get a special license for the  dog, have it spayed or neutered and post 
signs on their property warning  neighbors that a pit bull is on the 
premises. 

   
Last week, the City Council passed the  ordinance, originally proposed by 
Councilor Rob Consalvo, after a rash of  attacks by pit bulls on other pets and 
people.
