For Tori Shirah, the chance to share with Overland Park City councilmembers about her beloved pit bull terrier Gunther was bittersweet. … Shirah was one of 25 people who spoke to the city council’s Public Safety Committee Wednesday night as the city begins to consider whether to repeal its 16-year-old ordinance banning pit bulls. All but one speaker on Wednesday supported the repeal. The speakers came from a variety of occupations. Tam Singer, CEO of Great Plains SPCA, advocated for repeal, as did Greg Musil, a development lawyer who said he’s fostered more than 100 dogs, of which a quarter were some type of pit bull mix.
