Is it possible to report someone with a Wildlife Rehabilitation license?

Hi im in Georgia, and my ex's mom works at a swamp park. This gives her a rehabilitation license by default, but she is heavily misusing it. She lives with three other people in a single wide trailer and has: a baby fox, a baby deer, a racoon, 15 baby possums, 2 ferrets, two turtles, three snakes, four dogs, 12 cats, a baby flying squirell, 3 baby armadillos, and two owls.
All of these animals live inside with no outdoor spaces of their own, just kenneled like dogs at night. She does not train them to be self sufficient, but she treats them all and trains them all as pets. One of the owls that she "released" still does not know how to hunt on his own, he comes to their porch twice a day to get a rat fed to him by hand. When i confronted her about it, she told me, and i quote, "I know its wrong, but I actually want to train all of these guys to love me because they're just so sweet and I dont want to send them back to the wild. If I give them all of this love then they legally cannot be released so ill get to keep them forever".

I believe this is a violation of what her license stands for, and NO ONE should do this to wildlife. She cares for them, but she treats them like PETS. Ive watched and seen that none of these animals know how to get food on their own. They have a yearling deer that still comes up to get bottle fed any time she is hungry. They get lots of cuddles and whatever food they want whenever they want, but nothing is actually wrong with them. Ive seen her take a baby deer off the side of the road and bring it home (this same yearling) without waiting for its momma because she thought it was cute, and her logic was she could raise it safer than the actual momma.

I think this is very wrong, and she should not be allowed to do this.
Is there anyone I can report this to? She refuses to bring the animals to other rehabilitation centers either even when they are all bumping into each other there. They are called "wild" life for a reason.

Can anyone give me any advice to make her not be allowed to do this to these animals anymore?

Since this is your "Ex's" Mom, be very careful that you have your facts in order and not just a case of vengeance.

As I stated in previous posts here, I have plenty of photos and statements from other people who have visited the house, as well as direct statements from her herself. When id stay over there I'd excuse myself outside very often to escape the fleas, the smell, and multiple animals crawling all around the place
 
Featherlace, you are doing a very noble deed for those animals. Weather you knew the person or not , should not affect you taking notice into protecting those innocent animals. I applaud you for doing what you are doing. Wild animals are not meant to be kept as pets and you are giving those animals a chance to hopefully return to the wild or be placed in a better environment. You are doing an amazing job!!!

@FeatherLace
Its been a week since you started this thread and from your posts, it appears that this horrible and illegal activity has been going on for some time.

When are you going to "nut up or shut up"? I mean that respectfully. Its past time to blow the whistle on this woman who sounds a bit mentally ill and is doing great harm to these innocent animals. The animals deserve to live a free life or at least a life in safe captivity not in cages in some trailer park.

Plus, you probably never really liked your ex mother in law anyway, did ya? ;)
