St. Landry Parish, Louisiana is considering sweeping animal control ordinance updates that would, among other changes, set standards for the lawful tethering of dogs; prohibit the tethering of horses, donkeys, or mules; require livestock to be kept in sanitary conditions; authorize the locality to impound “noticeably lame, ill, sore, or sick” animals at horseshows, rodeos, and parades; prohibit inhumane transport of animals; and subject breeders to semi-annual inspections. The Parish Council will vote on the proposed changes on December 21, 2022.
