A federal judge has ruled that three big cats currently at the Tri-State Zoological Park will be have be taken to an accredited sanctuary. The ruling comes after a six day bench trial in November following a lawsuit filed by the organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) under the Endangered Species Act.
Bob Candy owner of the Tri-State Zoo says they are fighting the ruling.
