Talk:South Dakota v. Fifteen Impounded Cats

Image of a cat
I note that the image of the cat was re-added earlier only for it to be removed again. I think it's time to establish consensus over whether an image of a cat is really required here now the article is no longer subject to the fun part of the main page?

 * It was restored so the set builders could see what the options were. I don't mind either way.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 11:35, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Something missing
One thing I'm not really understanding in this article is why this was a case against the cats and not against the driver. The article explains what kind of case this is and what it means, but there's nothing about what led to this case being in rem rather than in personam. I mean, the entire case and judgment doesn't seem to do anything about preventing the driver from getting 15 more cats in her car. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:00, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The case was about the cats were being seized by the state because they were being kept in poor and dangerous conditions and the owner trying to get them back. For the purposes of the case, the cats are the property that the case is being brought against.  The C of E God Save the King!  ( talk ) 09:12, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
