Pet store owner faces 38 counts of animal cruelty
A pet store owner is facing 38 counts of animal cruelty after investigators from two different law enforcement agencies say they found dogs living in ``deplorable conditions'', with no food or water at two separate store fronts.
An Anderson County animal control officer and his wife have each been charged with 92 counts of animal cruelty after authorities seized 177 dogs, one cat and one bird from their home on Wednesday.
