Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the Amended Final Judgment without prejudice to the parties seeking modification of the previously-issued permanent injunction in light of the potential for changed circumstances resulting from the final judgment. See Jackson Grain Co. v. Lee,

7 So. 2d 143, 146 (Fla. 1942) ("Where the grounds and reasons for which the injunction was granted no longer exist, by reason of changed conditions, it may be necessary to alter the decree to adapt it to such changed conditions, or to set it aside altogether, as where there is a change in the controlling facts on which the injunction rests, or where the applicable law, common or statutory, has in the meantime been changed, modified, or extended. Such change in the law does not deprive the complainant of any vested right in the injunction because no such vested right exists."); Miranda v. Pacheco Entm't Prod.

Enter., 220 So. 3d 523, 527 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017) ("[A] trial court necessarily retains jurisdiction to modify a permanent injunction when changed circumstances make it equitable to do so." (citing Hale v. Miracle Enter., 517 So. 2d 102, 103 (Fla. 3d DCA

1987))).

AFFIRMED. PALMER, ORFINGER, JJ., and MUNYON, L., Associate Judge, concur.

    …injunction that was entered “is subject to change, modification or termination, upon her petition when warranted by evidence that she can properly assume care of animals in a responsible manner.” See generally Jackson Grain Co. v. Lee, 150 Fla. 232, 7 So. 2d 143 (1942). Because legislative protection of animals from harassment and ill-treatment is a valid exercise of police power, we find Brinkley’s argument of constitutional infirmity to be without merit. See C.E. America, Inc. v. Antinori, 210 So. 2d 443…
