LDWF raid Metairie home to confiscate pet nutria

A fine use of taxpayer money. Love the bit about being dressed in tactical and then getting aggressive with the home owners because the nutria wasnt home...fukn clowns.

The real issues that pose a threat to us are apparently white supremacy and illegal possesion of a quadruped.
quote:
Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries agents plan to confiscate a Bucktown couple’s pet nutria because it's illegal to possess one, the owners said Thursday.
Two years ago, Neuty was a wild infant that lived in the West Esplanade Avenue canal. When the palm-sized animal was injured while crossing the road, Bucktown residents Denny and Myra Lacoste rescued the motherless critter and nursed it to health.
quote:
The Lacostes said Wildlife and Fisheries agents arrived at the seafood store Thursday at about 4 p.m., but the couple's son had taken the orange-toothed rat for a ride. Dennis Lacoste said he was given a ticket for “possession of a wild quadruped without a license," and instructed to turn over the animal as soon as possible. Which he planned to do.
He said he was unaware keeping a nutria as a pet is illegal. He said that when he first took the wounded creature home, he contacted Wildlife and Fisheries and was told that keeping a nutria was not advisable but not illegal.
quote:
At 5:30 p.m., two armed Wildlife and Fisheries officers, dressed in military-style fatigues arrived at the Lacoste home. But after 45 minutes, Neuty had not arrived.
quote:
“We’re giving you ample opportunities to produce the nutria,” one of the agents said. “We feel like we’ve been entirely respectful this entire process. But we’re not going away, all right?” “Prolonging the process,” the officer said, could provoke further legal action.

Social media in this area is going nuts and thousands are signing some kind of online petition.
I’m sure it won’t do any good, but the agents need to be ridiculed for doing this. They offer $6 a tail from dead neutrias to encourage them to be killed. What’s the point of taking a family pet in this way

I have a picture somewhere of a dude with a pet nutria in Academy Sports from a few years ago.
It was sitting on his back/shoulder like a parrot. He had raised him from a few days old.
ETA: Here you go, Stewart the pet nutria!

Too often civil servants forget who pays their salaries. Probably not one tax payer cared for this to happen; yet, here we are.

This one’s for you Neuty

Neuty is a nutria who lives in Metairie
He was rescued by a family who loves him dearly
He likes to swim in the pool and ride in the car
He's a local celebrity and a social media star But he's also an illegal pet and an invasive species
That causes damage to the wetlands and other crises
So Wildlife and Fisheries agents came to take him away
And move him to the Baton Rouge Zoo where he'll stay
Now Neuty is sad and his family is too
They miss their furry friend who was loyal and true
They hope he'll be happy in his new home at the zoo
And they'll visit him often to say hi and how do you do
Neuty is a nutria who lives in Metairie
He's a rap sensation and a legend in history
He's got orange teeth, webbed feet and a long rat tail
He's Neuty the nutria and this is his tale ```

This should be one of the situations where the taxpayer reminds the official who pays their salary.
Maybe the petition can help, IDK. Kind of shitty to take a pet away like that.

Not a problem when the family pet is well taken care of and safely contained, but when they escape or the owner turns them loose for whatever reason, they cause problems for the local ecosystem that may not be easily fixed. See Florida with all the invasive reptile problems due to pet owners releasing their exotic snakes when they got too big.
Maybe LDWF can inspect the home and the cage its kept in and give some sort of special permit to let them keep it. But there’s a good reason why certain animals aren’t allowed to be kept as pets. The idiots who don’t secure their animals or turn them loose when keeping the pet becomes inconvenient ruin it
