I am writing as a citizen and resident of the State of Florida. The Bradford County Animal Control is a nightmare and although it has been improved, there is so much that needs to be done still.

There was this wonderful write up about the sheriff and all of the work that he has done! What a joke! He has not done a thing to improve the lives of these poor animals and their plights! He is the one who is always pushing to have the animals killed. It is his goal to kill as many as he can before anyone finds out what he is up too! He is not at all animal friendly. He has been around way too long and he thinks that he is not touchable! But, as a public officer and a man who is elected, he needs to know that he is indeed being watched and he needs to do so much more for these poor animals.

Citizens of Starke and the surrounding communities need to actually go down there to the shelter and see what the conditions are like. It is pretty primitive to say the least. Nothing is enclosed. The animals are exposed to very cold temperatures, especially like we had with the last cold snap. There is a very high percentage that all of the animals are destroyed simply because they are there and that is the only reason and no other reason. God forbid that he should have to use up some of his budget to pay for dog food and water. Nothing else is done for these animals. None of them are provided medical treatment and the only reason that they were seeing a vet once per week was to be euthanized. Now, Tracey, who works there has the training to kill them herself personally! What a nice person she is too. No one wants to go there when she is around and this information comes directly from the people who have gone there to adopt or rescue.

So, please spare me the lies and the junk that was just written in the newspaper.....all one sided propaganda to make him look good and he is NOT!!! He needs to be jerked from office and not ever re-elected! Thank you.
