Michael Jackson Accused Of Animal Cruelty

Michael Jackson has been accused of animal cruelty after his abandoned Neverland Ranch Zoo was found in squalor.

It’s claimed that a crocodile has been found in cruelly cramped conditions and a giraffe was apparently discovered standing in a pool of blood.

Other aerial pictures taken of the ranch allegedly show animals wallowing in their own faeces.

Workers also claim that supplies are running out to feed the animals.

Jacko is thought to have abandoned looking after the zoo when he fled to Bahrain after he was acquitted of child molestation last year.

But animal rights activists think that it’s time action was taken against the pop star.

As the Mirror reports, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) spokeswoman Lisa Wathne said: "These photos make it clear that the animals are being held in what can only be described as cruel conditions.

”They're abysmal, little more than holding cells. Jackson must close this place and relocate the animals to an accredited zoo or sanctuary."

PETA have also called for a full investigation into the ranch.
