Everything that has happened at MAC (now renamed as if the animals' welfare was a concern) has been shady and underhanded. Biggs was hired at a salary of more than $10,000 per month as a consultant, but she has forced out volunteers, banned others, and her actions were instrumental in Van Vandewalker's resignation. Vandewalker was the best thing to ever happen to MAC, with the shelter going more than 9 weeks without euthanizing any animals. Since Bibb County took control of the shelter, and brought in Biggs as a "consultant," several dozen animals have been euthanized, including at least 4 the day after she stated that no animals would be euthanized after rescue groups pulled enough animals to bring down the total to below the state maximum. The four dogs that were euthanized were reported to either have mange (which is entirely treatable) or were aggressive. However, these "aggressive" dogs had been taken care of by shelter workers and volunteers, with no evidence presented to the community that they were unadoptable.

I ask that you immediately dismiss Deborah Biggs from Bibb County Animal Welfare and hire Van Vandewalker as permanent director to run the shelter as he sees fit. Under his leadership and direction, hundreds of animals were saved, either through adoption or rescue-pull. Please save the animals in middle Georgia from unnecessary euthanasia at the hands of Deborah Biggs.

Bring back Van & bring back AC Pup!
