ALERT: Denison, Iowa This ordinance affects domesticated and non-traditional pet owners! Denison, Iowa has proposed a very broad ban on all species not native to Iowa or Nebraska. Additionally, there is a pet limit for domesticated species and even fish. The draft language is very poorly and haphazardly written. This is a bad one! All local pet owners need to get involved and amend this shortsighted ordinance. Get involved or get banned! Locals need to call and email the Mayor and Council members ASAP!
