In a recent enforcement action, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) cited a Slidell man for alleged hunting violations in Orleans Parish. Barry Labruzzo, 44, was found in possession of an over-the-limit quantity of rabbits, leading to legal repercussions that highlight the importance of adhering to wildlife conservation laws.
The Incident and Discovery
The event unfolded on January 15 when LDWF enforcement agents, Senior Agent Salvador Mangano and Corporal Gary Levron, were on patrol. They observed Labruzzo engaged in rabbit hunting activities. Upon making contact, Labruzzo claimed he was rabbit hunting and mentioned his hunting license was in his truck.
Following Labruzzo to his vehicle, the agents verified his hunting license. However, they discovered a significant violation: Labruzzo had 12 freshly harvested rabbits in his truck, exceeding the daily limit by four rabbits. This breach of hunting regulations prompted immediate action by the LDWF agents.
