New Orleans' animal law can prevent abuse, euthanasia: Letter


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.
