The appellant appealed a Decision to Keep (DTK) 14 exotic animals in care and a Statement of Account (SOA) issued by the Chief Animal Welfare Inspector.
The Animal Care Review Board found that the animals were in distress at the time of the DTK and that the appellant lacked the necessary daily care plans, veterinary relationships, and adequate enclosures to ensure the animals would not be returned to distress.
The Board denied the appeal of the DTK and confirmed the revised SOA in the amount of $11,709.69 for the costs of boarding and veterinary care.
