Last week, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa issued a preliminary injunction against Wuanita Swedlund, a dog breeder, based on claims that she has repeatedly failed to grant Department of Agriculture (USDA) officials access to inspect her facility, animals, and records in violation of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). This preliminary injunction follows a temporary restraining order (TRO) based on the same claims that led to the seizure of 32 dogs by Iowa law enforcement.
