Only after several attempts and with the help of the police had become the county administration goals against at home.
Several dead cats
The two buildings, one large and one small building in Botkyrka, survived the 60-year-old woman with her mother, sister and her 30-year-old son and the 191 cats. The cats sat and lay on the kitchen benches, tables, cabinets, on the floor, on chairs and windowsills. They found the feline, injured and sick cats and multiple cat boxes that were all full of feces and urine.

This is an awfully sad story :( Of course, these people were doing absolutely wrong, but however one thing really bothers me - I'm NOT sure that the 173 cats were so incurably ill or injured that they definitely had to be killed. I just do not believi it :(
