BUNNELL --
A nearly five-year fight over a pig sanctuary in western Flagler County may be close to an end.
A judge issued an order Wednesday giving the county ownership of the nearly 400 pigs.
The county and state teams have already begun inspecting Pig Tales Sanctuary.
Lory Yazurlo said she is heartbroken over this decision. She has contacted the public defender's office to find out what can be done now.
Yazurlo, who is confined to a wheelchair, has been given extension after extension to clean up the property. She's had run-ins with neighbors and code enforcement officials over the condition of the sanctuary.
At 10 a.m. Wednesday, officials with the Flagler County Humane Society and the U.S. and Florida Departments of Agriculture came to the property to begin feeding the pigs.
Currently, the main priority is making sure the animals are healthy and stay within the sanctuary.
“The sanctuary was quarantined after a pig tested positive for pseudo-rabies. Conditions of the quarantine were that pigs would be able to live out their natural lives and die on the property, but no animals may be removed or added and all males would be castrated and no breeding was allowed. The plan has been in effect since 2005. Because of the quarantine, inspections were conducted by the USDA and was found not to be in compliance,” said Carl Laundrie, a Flagler County spokesman.
Friends and family said they're not hopeful that this will turn out well for Yazurlo and her pigs
