From the article:
Major Woods says it is estimated it will cost $100,000 to temporarily house all the animals at local shelters. “The couple will be issued citations, Class A misdemeanor for cruelty to animals. But I am confident in saying that based on the conditions and the animals, those charges will likely be upgraded to aggravated animal cruelty which is a felony.”….
Let’s do the numbers: 100K to “temporarily house” 183 animals, 121 of
them dogs, that’s about $546 per animal. That will buy one heck of a lot of
kibble, grooming and veterinary care! I wonder how quickly the animals will
be fit for “adoption” after they have been transported in the HSUS
Miracle Health Restoration Truck!
