Blair's Home Raided Over Animal Cruelty Claims

Actress Linda Blair's Southern California home was the subject of a law enforcement raid on Friday. Officials from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department executed an investigative warrant to examine a reported kennel operation on the property. The inspection was prompted by alleged violations, including exceeding the permitted number of animals.

Authorities found nearly 200 dogs at the residence, significantly more than Linda Blair's permit reportedly allowed for approximately 60 dogs. The department stated the goal was to verify compliance with county codes related to kennel operations. Their primary focus is ensuring the safety and well-being of both animals and people on the premises.

Reports indicate that Linda Blair was present during the search and was described as extremely cooperative. No animals were removed from the property. Blair has suggested the situation involves overlooked paperwork and her desire to move to a location that would allow her to assist more animals.
