Washington’s highest court is hearing an animal cruelty case involving the Olympic Game Farm.
The Washington Supreme Court will determine whether a violation of Washington’s wildlife laws, animal cruelty laws, and/or the Endangered Species Act can be the basis of a public nuisance claim.SEQUIM, Wash. — Washington’s highest court is hearing an animal cruelty case involving a Sequim game farm.
The lawsuit brought by the Animal Legal Defense Fund accuses the Olympic Game Farm of keeping animals — including gray wolves, grizzly bears, lions and tigers — in “substandard, cramped conditions in violation of the Endangered Species Act and state cruelty laws.” The Washington Supreme Court will determine whether a violation of Washington’s wildlife laws, animal cruelty laws, and/or the Endangered Species Act can be the basis of a public nuisance claim.
If the court affirms this, it would have the authority to shut down an operation that continues to violate those laws.©2022 Cox Media Group
