   The Center City Council has approved new animal ordinances.
   The first bans pit bulls. The second would allow the council to declare an animal to be dangerous if it bites or chases a person or attacks another animal.
   Animals that violate the law would have to be removed from city limits or destroyed. The ordinances were drafted after complaints.
   Several other Northeast Missouri communities have discussed or enacted similar bans.
