Instead of "Counties" La. has what is called "Parishes" but the same identity.
In today's paper a report for the first 6 months in the Parish where the city
of B.R. is, there is a list of AC bite & loose dog complaints.  
         110 with the following dogs involved: 
45 Pit bulls, 1 Dalmatian, 1 Doberman,  TEN GSDs
8 Rottweilers, 2 Boxers, 1 Labrador,     ONE POODLE
          The other 41 dogs were mixed breeds.
A law had been passed that I thought was an OK one as it targeted
irresponsible dog owners recently!  However, the report shows most
of the problems are with "loose and roaming dogs"!!  Friday a report
was made from electric co. workers working where a tree had been
down over lines.  They had to stall the work and call AC as there
were 3 Pit Bulldogs running loose and they began to fight each other.
They, as well as other workers, such as TV cable folks, have been in
difficult situations with some of the loose canines.  AC said they get
an average of 8 Pit Bull complaints a week.  After hours calls average
12 a day.  This is a big community, but I don't remember such large 
numbers of dangerous loose dogs until recently.  Actually, before those 
2 hurricanes in 2005, it'd never been this bad.  I know in N.O. there 
were more Pits found after them than any other kind and it was bad.
Very few of these dogs have been reclaimed by owners.  It's so sad
for me to realize that these humans are not punished with fines etc. as
no one knows who they are and the animals suffer for the neglect.  I
wish we could come up with some better solutions, but I can't seem to
be able to conjure up any in racking my brain right now.   Norma no L
