He says People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals threatened to shut down the village if it didn't repeal the ordinance. It called for taking the two breeds to a veterinarian for "further disposition" if owners did not get rid of them.
Lemoine says the village would not have killed the dogs, just kept them at a shelter until the owners found somewhere else for them to live.
