John,
While I cant speak personally for these animals, I can tell you, last year my rescue took in 58 animals from a local pet store that was raided. In 2 months we spent $4000.00 in care, feeding and veterinary costs, including the costs of necropsies because of the court case. And trust me, these animals were maintained in sterile shoe box set ups and rack systems.
One of the drawbacks with neglect cases is that you must have the animals seen by a vet to document the situation. If you do not document, you have no proof of neglect. If you do the vetting, I can tell you, that the cost is excessive. And this is with a 75% discount! ----- Cindy Steinle
