A New Brighton woman is facing over one-hundred charges following an investigation into animal abuse and neglect.

Humane officials in Beaver County say Barbara Beatty has been keeping dozens of animals in filthy and unhealthy conditions, both inside her Taylor Drive home and in a small barn.

Authorities say six animals were found dead at the property, including two horses, and 34 had to be rescued last Friday.

Dogs, rabbits, and hedgehogs were among the 16 animals living inside her home, with 18 more barnyard animals living outside, according to officials.
