UPDATE ON CALF KILLING
 
On November 29th., David LeBlanc, who has previously plead guilty in this brutal calf killing, will be sentenced.  Please call Judge Martin E. Coady #985/809-5330.   It is important that Judge Coady hear from the public that "just" punishment, not just probation, be administered in this matter.  Please call as soon as possible.  Louisiana has substantial animal welfare laws, but we need to let judiciary officials know that we expect convicted defendants to receive a proper sentence, one that fits the crime.
