BOISE, Idaho (AP) _ Idaho Humane Society officials say a man
suspected of neglecting 14 dogs and puppies earlier this week has a
history of abusing animals he raises for sale.

Oliver Palmer, who lives in Boise County, faces three outstanding citations for neglect and animal cruelty. He hasn't been charged in the latest case, in which more than a dozen golden retrievers were seized from his property on Christmas Eve.

Humane Society officials says the animals didn't have proper
shelter. Jeff Rosenthal, the head of the Idaho Humane Society, says that new laws are needed that are tougher on those who neglect their
pets.

Cruelty to animals in Idaho is currently a misdemeanor.
