> court. In October 2008, several uniformed officers of the Louisville
> Metro Animal Services (LMAS) intruded into the O’Neills’ home without
> a warrant and without consent, confiscated the O’Neills’ two adult
> dogs and the dogs’ litter of seven puppies, neutered and spayed the

> any formal charges ever being lodged against the O’Neills.
