| Purpose of the meeting The Virginia Dangerous Animal Initiative (DAI) Workgroup is convened to consider the issue of public safety in relation to possession of potentially dangerous animals. The charge of the group is to define the term dangerous as relates to animals, and determine if there is a need to place additional conditions and/or restrictions on the possession of dangerous animals. The first Workgroup meeting will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012 from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM at the VHDA Virginia Housing Center, 4224 Cox Road, Glen Allen, VA 23060, facilitated by the UVa Institute for Environmental Negotiation (IEN).
