Testify Again by Wednesday 11.9.15 1:30 pm
Despite earlier overwhelming testimony in opposition to the issuance of a permit for the Panaewa Zoo to acquire 2 Bengal tiger cubs, the Plant and Animal Advisory Committee will be reconsidering approval of this request this Wednesday, December 9 at 130pm. Both the Panaewa Zoo and the tiger breeder-dealer, CJ’s Big Cats, have been cited for numerous violations of the USDA Animal Welfare Act. Further, Bengal tigers are an endangered species, require specialized care and the Panaewa Zoo is not an accredited facility.
