Thanks for this update. I've heard they have had to spend over $100,000 on vet care, and now more with attorney's fees because of a mistake on the Mayors part. I certainly wish they could file a civil suit against her, and she would have to pay for the vet care, after all, it was necessary because of her poor treatment of these animals.
