SHREVEPORT — The Caddo Parish Commission has approved an ordinance banning the selling, trading or donation of animals from roadsides and on commercial parking lots.
The Times reported that Caddo Parish Animal Control will enforce the new law. Violators will be issued a summons to appear in court where a judge will determine the penalty.
Commissioner David Cox pushed for the ordinance for safety reasons. He said selling animals on roadsides creates traffic hassles and can be dangerous if animals get loose.
