Pasadena : Animal Cruelty Charged
A Pasadena woman awaits trial on charges of cruelty to animals after authorities seized 119 chickens, 17 ducks, eight rabbits and two turkeys kept in crowded, unclean cages from her home, according to a Humane Society official.
Ann Miller of northwest Pasadena was arrested Jan. 19 for probation violations following her conviction in February, 1992, on eight counts of cruelty to animals in Municipal Court, said Steve McNall, executive director of the Pasadena Humane Society.
Miller was apparently slaughtering the animals for food, McNall said. It is illegal to keep fowl in a residential area, he said.
The animals seized from her home were taken to the shelter, where they can be adopted, he said. Miller was released on bail.
