What are Citizens saying about Sheriff Grady Judd and his Animal Services?
Carley Jennifer says This sheriff is proving more and more that he needs to be forced to move out of the way….people aren’t just going to back down. What a silly thought that is! He thinks closing the shelter so he can let more cats die is going to solve this problem. Not allowing cameras? Hahaha, why? If you aren’t guilty of a crime, what’s with all the covering up and hiding? Must think we were born yesterday. He is not above the law, and SO many seem scared of him. How can one person have so much power one might ask? Because this situation runs deeper than anyone in Polk County and beyond would ever be able to comprehend, especially financially.

Get as many lawmakers and government officials involved as you can! How immature and unprofessional to close a shelter after making it publicly known that there would be an adoption event today….
