In an emergency hearing, a judge in Florida on Sunday night denied a pet advocate’s request to search for missing animals inside the partially collapsed Surfside condo building before the standing portion of the building was demolished, according to a report. The decision by Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Michael Hanzman was a disappointment to Stacey Karron, 57, who volunteers to rescue animals, the newspaper reported. "My goal was just to go down there and try and rescue any pets if I was allowed," Karron said. She also agreed not to remove any items from the building and to keep her search focused strictly on her missing cat, the document said. It was unclear at the time how many total pets may have gone missing in the collapse.
