  • Summary

  • In this episode, we delve into South Dakota v. Fifteen Impounded Cats, a quirky yet consequential case that raised important questions about civil forfeiture, animal welfare, and pet owners' rights. In 2010, South Dakota seized fifteen cats from a woman living in her car, arguing that their presence was a public safety risk. But did this seizure go too far? As we break down the court's surprising decision and the legal nuances of in rem jurisdiction—where the case is against property (or pets) rather than people—we’ll explore the delicate balance between individual rights and public welfare.
