I have always supported the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries but I think they went too far when they took that nutria away from that family in Metairie. The animal was obviously well taken care of and loved by the family.

My daughter and I rescued four baby raccoons when they fell from their nest and the mother was killed by the falling tree. We bottle fed them and raised them to adulthood, at which time they slowly drifted away.

If they had elected to stay with me, I would have gladly kept them and taken care of them. I sure the agency has more important things to worry about than that fat, well cared for nutria.
