A 12-year-old tiger named Zeus was euthanized at the Natural Bridge Zoo in Virginia, and 95 animals were impounded as part of an investigation by the Attorney General's Office's Animal Law Unit. The details of the investigation have not been disclosed, but the zoo owner confirmed the euthanization, stating that Zeus was sick and wouldn't eat.
