Vet Sues Michael Jackson for Unpaid Bills

Michael Jackson is being sued for unpaid bills by the veterinarian who
tends to his menagerie of exotic animals at the Neverland Valley
Ranch, the estate Jackson has not occupied since he was acquitted of
child molestation charges last June.

What happened? La Toya had a chest cold?

The singer has been living in Bahrain. But the suit against him was
filed in Santa Maria, the city where he stood trial last year.

The plaintiff, Martin Dinnes, owner of Dinnes Memorial Veterinary
Hopsital, alleges that Jackson owes $91,602 in veterinary bills. His
lawyer, Brenton Horner, said Dinnes helped the singer acquire animals
for his zoo incuding flamingos, giraffes, elephants and orangutans.
Dinnes continues to treat the animals on a regular basis, the attorney
said.

"He filed this (lawsuit) with great reluctance," Horner told the Santa
Maria Times. "He has a lot of admiration for Michael. This is just a
business matter."

A hearing was set for May 2.

Jackson lawyer Thomas Mesereau Jr., who now handles all of Jackson's
litigation, said, "I have not seen the complaint and cannot comment
until we evaluate the situation."
