SANDSTONE, Minn. (AP) The Wildcat Sanctuary in Minnesota has accepted some big cats seized by federal officials from the private zoo in Oklahoma made famous by the 2020 Netflix documentary “Tiger King.”
The owners of Tiger King Park are facing numerous citations for failing to provide adequate care, nutrition and shelter for the animals.
So, the U.S. Department of Justice stepped in and ordered the seizure of 69 protected lions, tigers and a jaguar.
“This is a historic and important seizure of 69 big cats. I am thankful for the coordinated effort of several reputable sanctuaries and federal agencies to ensure these cats were safely removed,” said Tammy Thies, Founder and Executive Director of The Wildcat Sanctuary.
The 'Tiger King' series on Netflix shocked many by pulling back the curtains on big cat exploitation and trade, and now many of those big cats will be moving to Minnesota.
