Lastime I visited this place in 2018 the Animals looked sicked and in stressed...it looked like they havent corrected the violations...we left! I wont be back.

USDA cites Lazy 5 Ranch in Mooresville with dozens of animal welfare violations:
VIOLATIONS FOR LAZY 5 RANCH FROM 2015 TO 2017:

Failing to give animals proper veterinary care

Keep acquisition and disposition records

Failing to have an employee or attendant present during times of public contact with the animals

Failing to comply with the minimum standard of care for animals including giraffes with overgrown hooves and a Sika Deer with multiple wounds on its body

Federal officials said in a statement Hampton and the Lazy 5 Ranch failed to provide healthcare for animals such as giraffes with overgrown hooves and a Sika Deer with multiple wounds on its body.

Additionally, they said the ranch failed to provide necessary healthcare "for a pregnant camel whose breathing was audible and labored, that had swelling in the facial area and feet, and that had reddened enlarged blood vessels in her left eye."

"They are considering the fact that we did not have our veterinarian write a statement that he did care for the animals, and they are considering that inadequate care," Rogers said.
