MICHIGAN -- A Howell Township woman is facing animal cruelty charges after being formally charged Thursday morning, according to a report in the Livingston Daily.

Margaret Elaine Komorny

Margaret Elaine Komorny was charged with animal cruelty to 10 or more animals, according to the report. Animal control officers say Komorny did not provide adequate care to about 90 dogs living in unsanitary conditions on her property.

The dogs were all seized by animal control officers in Livingston County.

Komorny denies the charges, and has called her business a kennel, according to the report.

 



As a part of her bond, she is no longer allowed to obtain new animals but can continue caring for the horses on her farm and two stray cats that live near her home, the report stated.
