Colorado's Wild Animal Sanctuary is asking for donations to buy flights for hundreds of animals that need to be moved from a zoo in Puerto Rico.
In January, the Department of Justice contacted Pat Craig — who — asking him to help resettle the hundreds of animals left in desolate conditions at the Juan A. Rivero Zoo in Puerto Rico, which closed in 2017 because of mismanagement and a lack of funds.
“Hurricane season comes in late July,” Craig says. “Every year goes by, and it’s kind of like playing Russian Roulette on another big hurricane.” “We said, ‘Well, it's a pretty big undertaking, but, yeah, we do believe that we’re one of the few places in the States that could actually do this,’” Craig remembers.
During and after the hurricanes, many zoo animals escaped or died, and the zoo fell into even worse disarray despite being granted“A lot of the reason that they've wasted away for the last twelve years is just because nobody could ever agree on anything,” Craig says. “It was this ongoing thing where everybody just loved to argue and talk. Meanwhile, the animals were dying, just because nobody can come to a consensus.
