Louisiana has some real good laws on the books about dogs. For one thing we don't have a statewide leash law but it is illegal for your dog to be on someone else's property. Also it is very clear that any citizen may kill any dangerous or vicious dog and there is no criminal or civil liability for killing a dangerous or vicious dog. It is in Title 3 the agriculture section of the law but applies statewide anywhere and does not require the dog to be on your property if you kill him.
