The city will now issue criminal citations to dog owners if a bite occurs while the dog was off leash and not on the owner’s property.
A sign outside the home of Christian Alexander Moreno, the dog owner facing felony charges related to a fatal dog attack in February.The City of San Antonio is ramping up punishment for owners of dangerous dogs in the wake of a mauling that killed an 81-year-old man last month, according to a March 14 memo from City Manager Erik Walsh.
Over the course of three years the city says 156 calls were made to the city and police complaining about activities at the Depla Street home of Christian Alexander Moreno, the owner of the dogs that attacked Ramon Najera Jr. and his wife Feb. 24. A memorial occupies the site where 81-year-old Ramon Najera Jr. was killed by two dogs Feb. 24 on the 2800 block of Depla Street.“These high-volume call residential addresses are already taking time away from city departments to address,” the memo reads. “Addressing these problem locations will keep our police and quality-of-life personnel free to respond to other calls.”
