The appellant appealed a Statement of Account (SOA) issued by the Chief Animal Welfare Inspector for the boarding and care of 29 domestic and exotic animals removed from her property.
The appellant argued the costs were excessive and unnecessary.
The Animal Care Review Board found that most of the expenses, including boarding and veterinary care, were reasonable and necessary to relieve the animals' distress.
However, the Board varied the SOA from $34,926.76 to $31,435.99, deducting excessive transportation costs, the cost of constructing a new exhibit for foxes, and a duplicate medical charge.
