The Keenesburg sanctuary was founded and continues to be run by
Pat Craig, who has rescued hundreds of wild animals from zoos and private collections. Thousands of visitors walk the elevated walkway at Keenesburg to see lions, bears, wolves and other rescued wildlife.
The lawsuit alleges that the sanctuary fund organization is registered as a nonprofit in Montana but operates from a residential address in Peoria, Arizona, by Lon Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor. The Taylors also run numerous other charities from the same address and using the same phone numbers. Those other charities include, according to the suit, Wild Animal Preservation Fund, Feeding Hungry Children Inc., Puppies Kittens Rescue Fund, Diabetes Aid Prevention Fund, Anti-Animal Cruelty Campaign, Save the Animals, Cancer Aid Prevention Fund, Feeding America’s Children, Feed My Children, Cancer Prevention and Aid Institute, Feeding America’s Hungry Children, Cancer Prevention Research Fund and American Diabetes Aid
