Judge orders state to return exotic animals

A Stark County judge ordered the state to return 10 exotic animals seized.

Common Pleas Court Judge Frank Forchione granted a preliminary injunction for the animals' return to Stump Hill Farm in the Massillon area. However, Forchione delayed the order for two weeks based on the advice of a state veterinarian who said the animals could be endangered by being anesthetized again so soon for a return trip.
