Animal control is just an extension of the police department. In my hometown they even have the exact same number. He says he's already called the cops half a dozen times and nothing. The humane society has absolutely no authority, and while in some cases they may have enough influence with the police department to get something done, in a wretched hive of scum and villainy like New Orleans that influence would be stretched pretty goddamn thin.
I guess if Rod-138 isn't exaggerating about them being left in piles of shit without appropriate shelter from the weather, you might be able to get someone like the ASPCA or Humane Society to start looking into this and start bending the ear of law enforcement about what they find, especially since there's a reasonable chance that pit bulls and bull mastiffs being bred in conditions like that have a decent chance of being destined for dog fighting.LSA-R.S. 14:102 - .27_sl said:These Louisiana statutes comprise the state's anti-cruelty provisions. The term "cruel" is defined in the first section every act or failure to act whereby unjustifiable physical pain or suffering is caused or permitted. The crime of cruelty to animals is subdivided into simple cruelty or aggravated cruelty. Simple cruelty occurs when a person intentionally or with criminal negligence overdrives, overloads, drives when overloaded, or overworks, torments, cruelly beats, or unjustifiably injures, or, having charge, custody, or possession of any animal, either as owner or otherwise, unjustifiably fails to provide any living animal with proper food, proper drink, proper shelter, or proper veterinary care.
