Show Notes
The owner of a petting zoo in Henderson says that the city's attempt to classify her camels as "exotic animals" puts her business in peril. The standoff has sparked a debate: Are camels "exotic" wild animals or domestic pets, and which animals should be allowed in our increasingly urbanized neighborhoods? Host Sonja Cho Swanson sits down with executive producer Layla Muhammad and creative producer Jacob Solis to discuss. Plus, a case is headed up to the Nevada Supreme Court over who has the final say on release with electronic monitoring — Metro or the courts — setting the stage for an existential fight over the balance of powers. Lastly, Vegas's NBA expansion team dreams will be decided at a Commissioners meeting next week — who's courting Nevada for a stake?
