TL;DR

Animals are being seized from the Natural Bridge Zoo in Virginia following a search warrant, with crates and carriers taken from the facility. The zoo's 12-year-old Siberian tiger, Zeus, was euthanized for unknown reasons. A Colorado sanctuary will take in some of the animals, while the zoo owner's attorney plans to challenge the seizure in a civil forfeiture hearing. The Office of the Attorney General has declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.
