A Nevada woman is facing multiple animal cruelty counts after Clark County authorities removed more than 30 horses from her ranch near Las Vegas.

Dan Kulin, of the Clark County Office of Communications, said that on July 15, personnel from the county's animal control department confiscated 36 horses from the Sagebrush Ranch.
