The writer of the attached letter below is by G. Robert Weedon, DVM, MPH. Weedon has been trying to have discussions with the County Commissioners and Sheriff Grady Judd about these issues for the past three years and NO one would talk to him, why?
The Lakeland Gazette has found out that the Polk County Commissioners in general are not particularly animal-friendly. Add to that the fact that they are all afraid of Sheriff Judd because they all want his endorsement to come reelection time.
But, the situation at the Animal shelter is unacceptable, and something needs to be done.

The County Commission should make a separate department for Animal Control. Not the PCSO. Animal Control is a thankless job. I would suggest Billy Townsend should head that department as in his own mind he has all the answers. Grady Judd is not a dog catcher. He is the head of one of the finest law enforcement agencies in the Nation.
