Boy’s presence helps silence Justin’s neuroses and anxieties as “the thought of a pet, even an imaginary pet, soothed him”.

    The court decided that the removal of the cameras that were placed in the park to collect footage of the deer culling was not in violation of the First Amendment. The reason that it did not violate the First Amendment is because although the park is a public area for all to see and visit, the recordings took place during times that the park was closed to the public. This means that S.H.A.R.K. has not right to the access of the video footage of the deer culling. The court also came to the…
