NEWTON IOWA attorney for the Newton Animal Rescue League says 11 gaps exist in state animal neglect laws after beagles seized by the league were ordered returned to their owners. Jasper County Judge Jerrold Jordan ordered the league to release 37 dogs.
A Mingo farmyard seizure involving 40 dogs ended with Judge Jordan ruling the Newton Animal Rescue League may recover $480 for housing and medical care for three dogs. The league sought $6,000 for all 40 dogs and faces an injunction preventing adoption of the remaining dogs. The beagles, owned by Jean and Lenny Thompson of Prairie City, were claimed as neglected. The league argued the dogs were neglected and in poor health, but evidence showed only three met the criteria for removal.
