Here's the not unexpected decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in a case we've been following (sort of). It should never have gotten this far, even as the "plaintiffs" raise the specter of a cert petition.
We say again: the federal courts seem to have time for this brand of nonsense, but when it comes to land use and takings cases, they won't be "super zoning boards of appeals," and almost always refuse to give them the time of day. At least PETA didn't make a takings claim and further hose up the law.
Once again, Dr. Zaius could not be reached for comment.
Rock on, Naruto.
