WILDLIFE
REHABILITATION & NATURE PRESERVATION
SOCIETY, INC.
This
Wildlife SCAM Society is supported by WLOX-TV
13, The Sun Herald Newspaper, The University of
Southern Mississippi (USM), The Mississippi
Department of Marine Resources, The Secretary of
State, Eric Clark, The STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
OFFICE OF THE STATE AUDITOR PHIL BRYANT AUDITOR,
and many more.
This
society has SCAMMED me out of $7,790.00 plus
profit and stolen tools.
All
of the above mentioned knows this society and
there SCAM but yet supports there actions.
The
State of Mississippi have given WRANPS
$70,000.00 of your tax money over a three year
period through the Mississippi Department of
Marine Resources/Tidelands Trust Fund.
Wranps
is not ineligible for any grants by the
Tidelands Trust Funds, but it seems the person
or overseer of the Tidelands Trust Fund is The
Mississippi Secretary of State, Eric Clark.
I
have request several times for the Mississippi
State Auditor, Phil Bryant to audit WRANPS, Inc.
but I never have received an answer.
So
I guess it is safe to state that the WILDLIFE
REHABILITATION & NATURE PRESERVATION
SOCIETY, INC. is politically connected.
I
have been working on getting paid what I am owed
for the past 12 years, and so far I have not
received a one-penny.
State
Election are coming up soon, perhaps I can
request the voters and taxpayers of Mississippi
not to vote for corrupt people which have there
own agenda and not the peoples.
Remember
WRANPS, Inc. is a closed society, not open to
the public!!

For 20 years, the
volunteers at WRANPS have helped the community
by picking up the injured animals they find and
nurse them back to health at no cost. But, if
WRANPS closes, thousands of injured wild animals
and those who find them will be left out in the
cold.
WRANPS has thousands
of happy stories about curing sick animals and
returning them to the wild, but some animals
like Cheyenne the Hawk will never be able to
leave WRANPS. Her wing was ripped off when
someone illegally shot her during a fall hunting
season.
Fall brings shooting
victims, while Spring brings something else.
"Right now
we're in the midst of baby season and we're
getting hundreds of babies coming in right now.
We are getting a whole lot of injured and
orphaned babies coming in." Dianne Hunt
said.
Baby opossums
actually keep pests away from your family by
eating millions of insects around your home,
including roaches. So, keeping them alive and
putting them back into nature is a great
community service.
But Hunt said all
this charity work could end if the community
doesn't help.
"Our financial
situation right now is pretty bleak. We've been
twenty years serving the Gulf Coast and helping
people with wildlife questions, and we really
need their help at this time."
WRANPS gets no
federal or state funding. The volunteers depend
on the community's support to stay a float, and
thousands of wild animals depend on them to stay
alive.
Co-founder Dianne
Hunt says she's lost many sleep many nights
worrying about WRANPS and the animals they may
soon have to turn away.
"I have been
real scared, but I feel like the public is
really starting to help us right now. I feel
like we will make it through this, and I know
that they'll help us again."
