Animal Cruelty Probe: Dozens of Seized Animals Expose Virginia Zoo's Disturbing Conditions

Over 100 animals, both living and dead, have been seized from a roadside zoo in Virginia as part of a criminal investigation into animal cruelty. The search warrant revealed that 89 living animals and 28 deceased animals were removed from the Natural Bridge Zoo. Among the animals taken were lemurs, macaws, pythons, llamas, and a tiger that had to be euthanized to end its suffering. The zoo's owner plans to challenge any permanent seizure of the animals, claiming it would be unconstitutional.
