Wells Fargo Eviction Efforts Against Michigan Animal Sanctuary Expected To Proceed After Holidays
In White Lake Township, Michigan, The Detroit News reports:
- Homeless is not how Joan Tucker envisioned spending the new year with her 24 rescue horses. Her 70-acre farm, tucked inside a grove of trees off of a main road, is in foreclosure. Wells Fargo Bank plans to begin eviction proceedings after Jan. 3, but it will take at least another 45 days before she will have to vacate the
premises.(1) Tucker refuses to clean out the horse stalls just yet.
- "I won't feel defeated until the very end," said Tucker, who works part time at Kmart, and full time at the farm. She purchased the farm in 2003 for $850,000, with an inheritance from her parents, to create the Equine Star Foundation, a nonprofit rescue farm for mistreated, unwanted or retired horses.

In regards to Equine STAR Foundation, whoever writes these articles should do better research. Just ask everyone in Ms. Tucker's surrounding community about how they were turned down by her when offering good homes to her horses, plus monies (try $600) to buy them from her. She does not keep good records for her non-profit, and managed to go through almost 2 million dollars (her parents left her) in less than ten years. This woman has "used" people for thousands of dollars she promised to pay back, and still begs for money from the public while she did not even bother to find employment until recently. Anyone who blames the bank or others for her misfortune needs to turn their attention to others going into foreclosure because of loosing jobs, or other animal rescues who truely do what they say.
