In the News…
U.S. District Judge Stephanie M. Rose issued a temporary restraining order against an Iowa dog breeder based on claims that he is placing the health of hundreds of dogs in “serious danger” in violation of the Animal Welfare Act.
This is the first time the government has sought injunctive relief against a USDA-licensed breeder.
Judge Rose granted the relief requested by the Justice Department and ordered the breeder, and any of his business associates and employees, to identify all locations of dogs intended for breeding or sale, have a licensed veterinarian complete a physical examination “from head to tail” of every dog and timely provide the veterinary records of those examinations and any other veterinary care to the Department of Justice. Additionally, the breeder must immediately cease breeding, euthanizing, or otherwise disposing of any dogs without the consent of the Department of Justice or Court order.
