The Loogootee Police Department is reminding residents about a city ordinance that prohibits feeding animals on city property. Officials say the rule is in place to prevent safety, health and environmental issues, including overpopulation and dependence on human food sources. The ordinance carries fines for violations, starting at $100 and increasing for repeat offenses. Police encourage residents who are concerned about stray animals to contact local animal services or shelters for proper care and assistance.
