Prairie Village becomes latest to drop pit bull ban. KC area has some holdouts

Prairie Village has joined a growing list of cities across the Kansas City metro that have repealed bans on pit bulls.

This week, the City Council voted 9-2 to end the prohibition on the breed — a move the Council tried and failed to accomplish in 2016. Prairie Village follows the lead of nearby cities, including Shawnee, Roeland Park and Fairway. Kansas City, Kansas, and Liberty both removed their ordinances this past year.

Now, only a few cities in the area have maintained their bans, including Overland Park and Independence.
