Animal neglect by the City of Bogalusa
Visitors to Cassidy Park noticed that one of the goats could barely walk - it ambulated mostly on its front knees. Its front hooves were at least six inches overgrown. Then there was the donkey with a fly-blown wound on its neck.
Some people posted about it on the Washington Parish Hard Copy board; someone else posted the video above on Youtube. One of the volunteers for Humane Society of Louisiana arrived at the discussion and promised to sort out what was happening at the park. He returned to the board on Monday, Oct. 8, to inform us that a vet had been out to care for those animals and there would be regular vet visits going forward.
In my opinion, someone at the City should be charged with neglect. This was inexcusable.
