The Appellant appealed the decision of the Chief Animal Welfare Inspector to keep 9 birds removed from his property, appealed a Statement of Account for their care, and applied for their return.
The Animal Care Review Board found that the birds were kept in unsanitary conditions, lacked adequate space, and required veterinary care.
The Board dismissed the appeal of the decision to keep and the application for return, finding that returning the birds would place them in distress.
The Board varied the Statement of Account from $3,268.52 to $1,534.19, removing costs for injuries sustained during removal and adjusting for the Appellant's limited ability to pay.
