Hemingway cats seek federal help in Miami court
The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum seeks court intervention against the USDA over licensing as an animal exhibitor for its six toed cats. The complaint argues the site is not an exhibitor under the Animal Welfare Act, while the agency cites potential $200 per-cat daily penalties for noncompliance. Separately, an Iowa sheriff faced theft charges over $781,000 seized cash, and opioid overdose interventions with naloxone face debate on prescription use amid fentanylrelated deaths.
