County: CitrusDisposition: Not Charged
Abuser names unreleased
State wildlife officials confiscated one lion and five tigers from a wildlife attraction in Citrus County.
The animals were taken from Wild Bill's Airboat Tours and Wildlife Park located in Inverness.
Officials believe the animals were under nourished so they placed them in a recovery shelter located in Pinellas County. State wildlife officials said the animals were badly malnourished, weighing only half of what they should.
The case has been turned over to the state attorney's office to look into grounds for charges.
