OMAHA- All citations against Scatter Joy Acres have been dropped and the animals seized by the Nebraska Humane Society have been returned to the premises. Matt Kuhse, Omaha City Prosecutor said Scatter Joy is a zoo and thus meets the exception in the city ordinance that allows them to house their animals.

Scatter Joy has all necessary permits through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.

The animals taken on Aug. 24 are a porcupine, seven Patagonian cavies (which look like jackrabbits and are native to Argentina) and a coatimundi (a mammal that looks like a cross between a cat and a raccoon and is native to the Americas). Kuhse said any disputes that remain would be considered regulatory and would be handled through the permits that Scatter Joy has received from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
