Louisiana of all states has some pretty strict laws concerning dogs running at large. Simply put "No person shall suffer or permit any dog in his possession, or kept by him about his premises, to run at large on any unenclosed land, or trespass upon any enclosed or unenclosed lands of another." RS3:2773 RS3:2773D states "Any citizen or officer may kill any dangerous or vicious dog, and no citizen or officer shall be liable for damages or prosecution by reason of killing any dangerous or vicious dog." This section of law by the way is in our agricultural section of statutes, but applies statewide and does not state that the person killing the dangerous or vicious dog has to be on his own property. The section was clearly designed to protect property (cats ?) from dogs. I think it goes without saying a dog attacking a human can be shot unless said human is himself threatening someone and the dog is acting to defend life or property.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
