It's about #$#@$ time. That place can stink to high heaven on some days.. even miles away from the place. It can be so bad, to where you can't concentrate on work, or want to make you ill.

I hear they are going to plead not guilty !!!

Louisiana Proteins has purchased more than $400,000 worth of odor-control equipment.

Dang that amount of money sure would buy a lot of land wayyyy out in the country.

Camping a mile up the road from half the attorneys in town is probably a bad idea if you are in the dog food rendering business. In any case, it is not right to have this facility so close to our new Hilton hotel and convention center. We don't want vistor's thinking Shreveport stinks (literally).

I hope this guy looses. If they need another witness for this case, I hope they call me!

They have been in business for years and supply a large amount of tax money to Shreveport. I feel that if the new Mayor and his friends prevail here that they will shut this business down and it will move to another state. That place has been there for decades and now that I-49 has been laid next to it the cry babies are coming out of the closet. It would be much different if they just opened or where trying to locate a new business but they have been around for a very long time. If they shut them down who do you think will move in that area ?? The crack heads that is who because no new business will locate in that bad part of town.

No one is crying about Lucas Treatment and that place is rank !

I've worked downtown for ten years and only in the last year or so has the odor been a problem. It really is foul.

I am all for "small business" and it takes a major issue for me to take another side other than small business. And this is it. Nobody has the right to keep others from doing their jobs in such a way. (by stinking to high heaven) If they move out-of-state, I bet it will not be so close to a new $60M convention center or hotel!

I'm with joepole. I've been working downtown for 10 years and the problem only got worse in the last year or two. I can only assume that they ramped up production or changed their process.

It's stinkin' like crazy this morning. Caught it on the way into downtown this morning. And it's stinkin' all the way to the inside of the AmSouth Towers.

Oh Joy.
