She has lived in a box all her life.<br \/>\n She is now six years old.  She has never known the joy of running free<br \/>\nor rolling in the grass.   All she knows of the outside world is what<br \/>\nshe can see between the wooden slats of her box.  She has never known<br \/>\nthe warmth of human love or animal companionship.  She has lived<br \/>\nalone&#8230;in a box.  <\/p>\n<p>Southern Comfort, a reputable rescue group,<br \/>\nis working to rescue Alice from her miserable existance, but has been<br \/>\nmet only by resentment and resistance from the authorities in Toombs<br \/>\nCounty.  The local magistrate even warned that if charges were filed, he<br \/>\n would throw them out!  Evidently, the officials in Toombs County don&#8217;t<br \/>\ncare whether animals are abused and neglected in their county.  They<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t care about Alice.  They don&#8217;t care about enforcing the law.  They<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t care about decency.   So now we have to find something they DO<br \/>\ncare about.<\/p>\n<p>If Toombs County can&#8217;t be convinced by decency, compassion, or the law,<br \/>\nmaybe they will be convinced by economics!!  We plan to let Toombs<br \/>\nCounty know that we will not tolerate their complacent attitude towards<br \/>\nanimal abuse!!  Our goal is to apply economic pressure to Toombs County<br \/>\nby boycotting the major industry of that county &#8212; Vidalia onions.  We<br \/>\nwill refuse to send one dime to Toombs County until Alice is FREE.  <\/p>\n<p>We<br \/>\n ask you to boycott Vidalia onions and all products related to Vidalia<br \/>\nonions.  We ask that you email Doug Eaves (Toombs County Manager), John<br \/>\nMatheson (Chief Magistrate of Toombs County), the Toombs County Chamber<br \/>\nof Commerce, and the Governor of Georgia to let them know that you are<br \/>\nboycotting Toombs County produce and industry and let them know why.  <\/p>\n<p>Alice lives in Lyons, Toombs County Georgia where Vidalia Onions are<br \/>\ngrown.  A local rescue found Alice living in a feces encrusted box.<br \/>\nLocal officials are refusing to act.
