Eleventh Circuit -- 907 Whitehead Street, Inc. v. Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, et al

Hemmingway museum, which allows the progeny of Hemmingway's cats to frolic & detour on the grounds, is subject to the Animal Welfare Act, as, according to an Agriculture Dept. interpretation,  the act of making the animals available to the public constitutes a distribution.  Chevron deference.  Sufficiently affects interstate commerce.

(No bull.)
