What kinds of animals? Will these animals be taken away to animal control and probably destroyed? Im not trying to come off as rude or offensive... Have you tried talking to this person with the 16+ animals about their situation? In my opinion i would do that first and see if you can understand whata going on and come to a healthy agreement. This person and the animals i assume have already created a bond it woukd be a shame if they were taken away and have them suffer as well as the person.
I would call 311
Call 311.
