Excerpt:
A Detroit urban farm owner wants to know where two of her horses ? Lakota and Rio ? are as well as four goats, several chickens, ducks and duck eggs, and she’s taking the city to federal court to find out.
Detroit Farm & Cider owner Leandra King says the city seized her animals twice ? once in 2021 and again earlier this year. In 2021, the city took one horse, Rio, and more than a dozen chickens, and accused King of unlawful wild animal possession. She was later acquitted. The lawsuit, filed in late September, says the city “expressly approved animal husbandry” at the farm. But in September, Detroit Animal Care and Control secured a warrant to seize the animals on claims that she was not supposed to have them.
The September seizure included a dozen chickens, four goats, one horse, 32 ducks and 86 duck eggs, according to the lawsuit, which is the latest in a series of disputes between the owner and the city over farm operations. King is still without, Rio, taken in 2021, and Lakota, taken in September.
Steven Kustra, King’s attorney, said his client has been in the dark about where the animals are. “They received a court order that allowed them to dispose of the animals whatever way they saw fit,” Kustra said.
