The owner of a Hoover pet store arrested Wednesday said today she loves animals and is confident she will be cleared of misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty and failure to burn or bury a dead animal.
She said she is the victim of revenge by disgruntled employees, one of whom was fired for neglecting animals and not doing her job.
The complaint accuses Manning of not taking a sick dog to the veterinarian on Saturday. The dog later died at the Wags to Riches store, the complaint says.
Reportedly, court begins at 3:00 pm, Hoover Municipal Court House, 2020 Valleydale Road. (To confirm call 444-7526)
