Stop the killing - Spay and Neuter

The Good Old Boys – hits again!

What can you expect in Louisiana where it seems most parish leaders treat their people nearly as bad as they treat the animals at the local dog pounds. Is CORRUPTION to be the name of the game forever?

$56 Thousand dollars a year to kill animals! If the parish spent that amount of money a year on spay and neuter they wouldn’t have any animals to kill in short order! Is wasting tax payers money part of the game too?

When will the people of this parish demand better of their parish leaders? Or vote in better leaders? Is mass animal killings OK with you?

Fix them or Kill Them – Your choice

Show you care - Spay or Neuter your pet!

When you have a leaky pipe do you just keep buying bigger mops and buckets? Or do you call in a good plumper to get at the cause of your troubles?

Think about it – parish wide free or low cost spay and neuter is part of the long term solution and is proven to save money on animal control. Or is spending more and more money on killing animals in a bigger and better kill shelter what you really want for your parish?
