While Miley Cyrus once dedicated an album to her Dead Petz, many are still alive and under threat of an Australian ex-husband! TMZ reports that Miley will fight to keep the many animals she shared with Liam Hemsworth—seven dogs, two horses, two mini horses, three cats, and a pig to be exact. Interestingly, California passed a new law that empowers a judge to grant various forms of custody for the animals in a divorce. Sources claim that even though a judge would likely rule in Miley’s favor, Liam holds a key bargaining position:
Miley’s the one who gave almost all of the animals a home in the first place — mainly through adoption — and she’s certainly passionate about them. However, it was Liam — while Miley was out of town — who saved the animals during last year’s wildfires in Malibu, which destroyed their home. Miley praised Liam’s heroics on Howard Stern.
Any new relationship comes with a set of unique challenges. Not only has Kaitlynn Carter found herself in the nexus of a media maelstrom, she’s about to have seven animals sharing bed with her and Miley. Good luck! (And if possible, please spin a reality show from this.) [TMZ]
