Pasquier says when they day comes, its possible the numbers of priests involved will be shocking.If we look at the case of Pennsylvania several months ago. The number could be high, and it could be rather startling for many Catholics. Tags: LSU Michael Pasquier Catholic Church Abuse scandal Louisiana 2018 Comments

In some cases pet owners care more about the health of their furry family members than their own health. Dr. Dan Frisard with Acadian Veterinary Hospital in Metairie agrees, and explains why the sudden growth in pet food sales make it a booming business. The cutting edge of the pet food industry is actually prescription foods that veterinarians sell for certain disease state, like allergies, and kidney problems, Frisard said. He says a big portion of that is related to keeping your pets weight down. Probably over 80 percent of pet owners have overweight cats and dogs, Frisard noted. Pet food sales topped 26 billion dollars, jumping almost 6 percent last year according to recent estimates by Packaged Facts. The research firm forecasts the industry to continue to grow annually through 2022. Dr. Frisard says those 50 cent cheap cans of dog food is not recommended when it comes to your pets health. He says with the healthy pet foods that are high in fiber, you pay significantly more in price.But in the long run, youre looking at prolonging a pets life span, youre looking at removing weight without starving your pet, so in the long run its well worth the price, said Dr. Frisard.
