Smelly house in South Dakota to be razed
RAPID CITY, S.D. --A Rapid City house that's filled with the stench of cats and animal waste was to be torn down Tuesday. Neighbors had complained about the foul smell, and authorities who searched the home found piles of cat waste and dead cats both inside and outside the home.
The city council declared the house a public nuisance and ordered it to be demolished.
The owner will be billed for the $10,000 it'll cost to tear it down, said Kevin Lewis, assistant city attorney.
