A Doyline couple faces 72 counts of aggravated animal cruelty after deputies linked them to the abandonment of over 12 dogs on a rural road. 68-year-old Alan Crowley and 58-year-old Kimberly Crowley were arrested at their mobile home, where authorities found approximately 60 more dogs living in inhumane conditions. Some were confined in overcrowded cages without food or water. Sheriff Jason Parker says they were selling the dogs online without a license…
The abandoned dogs were captured and taken to a veterinarian before being placed with a rescue group. Deputies ensured the remaining animals at Crowley’s home received food and water, with LaMa Rescue stepping in to assist. Parker says it’s a bad situation.
Parker says the dogs are in the process of getting check and then hopefully adopted by loving families…

The good news – it’s crawfish season. The bad news – it’s crawfish theft season. And crawfish harvesters are working diligently to prevent thieves from making off with their hauls. Paul Zaunbrecher, a crawfish farmer in Acadia Parish, says the best way to stop crawfish theft is not to leave their sacks unattended.
Cut 9 (09) “…they’re put down.”
Zaunbrecher says another way to accomplish this is to use some strategy in the order of how they catch their crawfish.
Cut 10 (14) “…behind the truck.”
Some sophisticated crawfish thieves will steal the crawfish from the traps during overnight hours. Zaunbrecher says drastic situations call for drastic measures.
Cut 11 (07) “…running the trap.”
