Louisiana Abandoned Animals Act

Louisiana · Agriculture and Forestry · §§ 3-1821 to 3-2511 · 189 sections

Overview

The Louisiana Abandoned Animals Act deals with livestock breeding standards and related agricultural regulation at the parish level. It authorizes parishes to adopt ordinances controlling bulls that fail to meet approved pedigree or registry standards — defining what qualifies as a scrub bull, providing for the castration or impounding of such animals and of bulls left unrestrained, and setting penalties for violations. The act also guarantees an owner notice and a chance to show that a bull is not subject to castration, provides compensation when castration occurs, and permits state institutions to sell improved varieties of livestock without the requirements ordinarily imposed on livestock sales.
