A summons has been filed to shut down operations at Brian & Vikki McMillan's Walking With Lions animal sanctuary located just outside the city of Phoenix. The facility will enrich the community in many ways, by offering educational resources and stimulating the local economy by adding jobs and bringing tourism revenue to the city and surrounding businesses. As residents of Jackson County, we call on the county of Jackson to recognize the overwhelming support of this community for Walking With Lions animal sanctuary and vacation rental. We trust that you will aptly consider our appeal and keep this facility open for the public to enjoy.
