MANDEVILLE (AP) – The Mississippi Gulf Coast isn’t the only place dead nutria washed ashore after Hurricane Isaac. Mandeville Mayor tells The Times-Picayune those included dead fish, a dead alligator and some feral hogs. Villere says the city got state permission to dump the dead animals in a closed parish landfill. He says city crews dug a hole, dumped in the bodies, and filled the hole back in. Thousands of dead nutria also washed up on the beaches in Mississippi’s Harrison and Hancock counties. Following the storm clean – up crews began picking up the dead nutria and debris.
