OROVILLE, Calif. – Wednesday morning, PETA announced it submitted a formal complaint to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Director Robert Gibbens, calling on the agency to investigate the Barry R. Kirshner Wildlife Foundation.
PETA submitted the letter this morning, saying they want the USDA to investigate the foundation for apparent violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA) after a 3-year-old leopard ‘attacked a volunteer and then escaped his primary enclosure at the roadside zoo on Saturday,’ according to PETA’s news release.
