North Texas authorities seized 22 dogs found crammed inside a station wagon with their owner.

I dunno about 'claown' car, it does not say other than station wagon...
however, this is from the article:

"The car was soaked with urine and covered in feces. The ammonia level in the vehicle was 23 parts per million even after the doors had been opened for several minutes. As a frame of reference, humans start experiencing health issues at 12 parts per million," Courtney Stevens, SPCA of Texas rescue and investigations supervisor, said in a news release.​

Someone measured ammonia levels?

Im glad they took control.For the human and the canines.Sounds like another case of animal hoarding.

I was in a house like that one time.(actually where I adopted 2 of my cats..including Apple the one I named myself after here)..

The thickness in the air of amonia made your eyes water."Coincidentally" she had a young teenage son that was "sick in the bed with bronchitus".

Anyway..I'm glad this woman was discovered.And I wish her and all the little doggies well and for a better life.

I think its a simple technique.They probably measured it because of the overwhelming stench I would imagine.It would help convince a judge that the animals should not be returned to her.

How does someone think that they are really helping these pets?

If its a "hoarder" its a form of mental illness.There is a lot of denial involved.

It's hard to believe that people do these kinds of stupid things. With those conditions how could she or the animals remain in good health? I'm so glad they were discovered now they have a chance at finding a good home with the care they deserve.....

I imagine they will have to put down those dogs.

Not always. On animal planet, you can watch Animal cops, which follow SPCA officers on their beat. A lot of the problems they find are these animal hoarders, and it's heart breaking. A lot of times it's a little old lady whose cats just got waaaaay out of hand. Sometimes, if possible, they let the people keep one or two of their favorites. They then try to rehabilitate as many of the animals as possible.

Obviously, some are too feral or too disease-ridden to be adopted, and they must be put down, but these dogs may have a fighting chance.
