{{date|January 7, 2006}}

Martin Dinnes, the owner of Dinnes Memorial Veterinary Hospital, alleges that [[w:Michael Jackson|Michael Jackson]] owes him over $91,602 in veterinary bills.

The pop star's exotic animals were looked after by the veterinarian at the Neverland ranch, where Jackson has not lived in since the last [[w:2005 trial of Michael Jackson|child molestation trial in June 2005.]]

Dinnes helped Michael acquire animals for his zoo which include flamingoes, giraffes, elephants and orangutans.

His lawyer, Brenton Horner, stated that Dinnes filed this lawsuit with great reluctance. "He has a lot of admiration for Michael. This is just a business matter."

A hearing was set for May 2.
