11. Hoarding of Animals In one situation 61 dogs, 6 cats, 4 birds and 8 small animals were taken in by our shelter from your area. In just 2 days our costs were $10,000.00 due to vet bills, medications and special foods and treatments. The public did help out, but not nearly enough

13. If everyone could do their part We are asking for an amount of $2,000 to help us fund our investigations in your area. I will be making requests from the other Communities in the hopes that as a group the financial responsibilities are shouldered by all. It is also our wish that you could make this a yearly contribution to our cause.
