Parishwide leash law

I have a beautiful little dog.  I walk him in our neighborhood several times daily on a leash.  What bothers me is animals on the loose.  Concerned that I did not know the leash law for the entire parish, I   was redirected when I called the parish council to someone who read the  law to me over the phone.  I live out of the city limits so I needed to know the leash law .  The woman on the phone read me the  laws which are quite extensive.  She said these laws are parishwide. The leashes are required for animals from dogs and cats to chickens etc.  She also told me that when this occurs I can call the pound to come and pick up any animal uncontained or unleashed. I told her  I WILL do this the next time. If you love your animals please abide by the laws to keep yourself and your animals safe.

    " There are dogs that are let out on Allen st. to do their business and the owner thinks that the dogs won't bite. The dogs bark and bark at the mailman and other people walking their dogs. The dogs do their business in other people's yard but their own. Glad to know that this is suppose to be a law and I'll call too to get this under control! "

    " The leash laws are like most other laws in the parish they're not enforced. How often do you see animal control in your neighbor hood. "
