Animals Rescued From Shady Roadside Zoo Are About to Start Entirely New Lives - YAAAAAY!

"Bear" after rescue:

A deplorable roadside zoo in Pennsylvania has closed its doors, while its residents are on their way to starting entirely new lives in sanctuaries.

Animaland Zoological Park was an unaccredited roadside zoo in Wellsboro that came under fire earlier this year for failing to provide adequate care for the animals there. Of particular concern was the blatant mistreatment of a gray wolf named Bear and a Siberian tiger named Baby, who are both protected under federal law as endangered species.

In March, the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF), along with six members of the public, filed a lawsuit ultimately seeking to have them moved to a sanctuary over concerns about their physical and psychological well being, in addition to barring the owners from keeping animals in the future.
