LONG COUNTY, Ga. - Oct. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Miracle Ranch, an animal rescue shelter, has been bullied by locals and county officials into closing due to fear for the safety of their volunteers and animals.  Miracle Ranch opened in February 2012 with support from Long County, GA and city officials.  They have been successful in saving 4000 ‘death row’ animals and completed the biggest animal rescue event in GA history on October 5, 2013.  Now the Long County Commissioner tells them they have to close down and ‘get out by December 1st’ or they will seize all rescue animals.

“We were approved and welcomed to Long County and have poured over $200,000. into the community by using local businesses.  We are saving animals and have always adhered to the laws.  This is a case of the city officials and locals bulling a business to get the land back.   This is illegal harassment but I fear for the safety of our volunteers and the dogs so we are forced out for no reason,” stated Karen Talbot of Animal Aid and Miracle Ranch.

Miracle Ranch was never contacted regarding any issues and has never been cited with any violations. Repeated calls have been made to the Long County Commissioner at 912-545-2143 and the response is “we have no comment.”
