INDIANAPOLIS An Indianapolis judge has made the final ruling in the case against former Wildlife in Need owner and operator Tim Stark.
According to a ruling released Wednesday morning, the court found that Stark was using funds from Wildlife in Need for his own personal use.
While Wildlife in Need was advertised as a non-profit, court documents say Stark ultimately had no intention of reasonably, adequately fulfilling that purpose and fraudulently used the donations for personal gain.

KEENESBURG, Colo., March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Ninety-one fortunate animals no longer suffer abuse and neglect at the hands of many of the characters featured in the 2020 Netflix docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, but rather, now enjoy lives in large-acreage, natural habitats at Colorado s Wild Animal Sanctuary.
As previously reported, 39 tigers and three black bears were rescued from Joseph Joe Exotic Maldonado-Passage in late 2017, the major player in the series, who is currently serving a 22-year sentence in federal prison on animal abuse and murder-for-hire charges.
