United Kingdom: Stevie-Ley Murray, 22, to stand trial for hoarding animals in cruel conditions

UNITED KINGDOM -- A woman, accused of animal neglect, will stand trial at Dundee Sheriff Court.

Stevie-Ley Murray, 22, of Cleghorn Street, denies failing to meet the needs of two bearded dragons, 12 cats, four rats and a hamster in that the floor of every room at her address was littered with feces and rubbish, causing a foul smell.

  

  

It was also alleged that the rats were not provided with sufficient food, as they were emaciated, and that the bearded dragons were found to be suffering from metabolic bone disease.

Trial takes place on March 5, with an intermediate diet on February 17.
