This is all politically motivated - as the daily posts are pointing out the weak and meaningless reasons that The Village officials are backing and requiring their employees to call Sumter County Animal Control to report a ‘found’ animal. Recently, the County officials threatened to sue The Lost Pet members to shut them down (or shut them up). The threat of the lawsuit didn’t work as it was frivolous and would have been an embarrassment for the County officials. So the County went to The Villages and asked for cooperation to throw a wrench in the Lost Pets operation. The County has no interest in saving or protecting our pets - they didn’t like being asked for transparency, they resisted public comments, all brought about by a group, a large group, of residents of The Villages and other Sumter County residents, who were trying to save the animals in Sumter County. This is political and the animals are the losers. I support Lost Pets of The Villages and hope everyone who has a pet realizes that the next lost pet could be yours. Who do you want me to call if I find it? Animal Control or Lost Pets who will scan your pet and get it back to you ASAP.
