Lion Habitat Ranch, which is near the south end of Las Vegas Boulevard, is home to lions once appearing at MGM Grand, as well as their captively-bred offspring.
“We are seeing more animals out there, whether they’re strays, or dumped or abandoned,” said Annoula Wylderich, founder of the Las Vegas-based Animal Protection Affiliates, a grassroots animal advocacy organization. “
The owner of a Nevada lion sanctuary has apologized after sending out a handwritten letter claiming the big cats at his ranch would be put down unless more funds were donated.
