Drop Charges for Tammie Hedges, the Volunteer Rescuer Who Saved Animals During Florence

The Issue

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/saving-pets-without-permit-good-samaritan-arrested-helping-animals-survive-florence-tammie-hedges/

Wayne County Animal Shelter wasn't responsive to calls before or during Hurricane Florence. A volunteer accepted rescued animals, at a temporary shelter. 

Now they're arrested her, for an unlicensed shelter and for administering over-the-counter drugs.

This was a time of the disaster and she saved those animals. Ridiculous. Drop the damn charges.
