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.
