PETA
documented that at Darlynn’s Darlins Rescue Ranch, Inc., outside Polk City,
Florida, pigs weren’t given anything to eat for up to five days at a time. Sick,
injured, and dying animals were denied veterinary care. Based on PETA’s evidence
of systemic neglect and unnecessary suffering at the facility, the Polk County
Sheriff’s Office executed a warrant on August 4, 2016, and seized nearly 200
animals, rescuing them from utter misery. Operators Darlynn Czerner and Clinton
Martin have been charged with a total of 282 counts of cruelty to
animals. Support professionally run, open-admission shelters that provide
animals with veterinary care and, when necessary, a painless and dignified end,
instead of hoarding them and letting them suffer until they die on their own, in
misery.
