Alabama: Laura Lifer charged with 14 counts of animal cruelty for allegedly starving livestock, pets

ALABAMA -- Madison County Sheriff's investigators have arrested the owner of a farm where more than a dozen animals were found starved to death last week.

Laura Ann Lane Lifer, 49, was charged with 14 counts of animal cruelty, a Class B misdemeanor, said Investigator Brent Patterson.


Lifer is accused of allowing at least 14 animals -- including cows, horses, goats, rabbits, dogs and cats -- go without food on her land at 487 Hammond Lane in Toney.

The animals were discovered March 4, when a passer-by noticed a "foul smell" coming from the area, Patterson said.

Per online comments:
"Since her sentencing she has sold her farm in Toney, AL and moved to McBurg, TN. She moved most of the animals to TN before her court date. She is hiding them there."

An online search yields a result that says she owns property on Cathcart Road in Frankewing, TN. Another search states that she has lived in Pulaski, TN.

Records show that Laura Anne Lifer, 50, was arrested in Madison County, Alabama, on February 4, 2010.
