New Orleans took a great leap when the City Council unanimously passed the Intact Animal Permit Law and its update, which requires: 'The intact permit number must be displayed when advertising the puppies for sale or adoption.' Not a single ad in The Times-Picayune or on NOLA.com reflects this requirement. If the trusted sources of New Orleans news aren't cooperative partners, are not part of the solution, then these valued news sources become part of the problem.
Boxes of puppies are dumped on street corners and in dumpsters. In local shelters, animals are euthanized because their number exceeds the capacity of the shelters and the dedicated manpower of the employees and volunteers. There simply isn't space for all the strays and owner surrenders. With more than 90,000 companion animals euthanized every year in Louisiana, it's impossible to understand any business policy that encourages overbreeding and many other avoidable animal-related issues that plague our city.
