In May 2021, our team participated in a large-scale rescue at Tiger King Park in Oklahoma. A total of 69 big cats were removed from that facility by the U.S. Department of Justice due to ongoing Endangered Species Act violations and are now in the care of reputable sanctuaries across the United States. Bobbi was able to bring Jem & Zoe back to LTB.
  
When cases like these are under investigation, LTB acts as a temporary home until final decisions are made regarding the fate of the animals. During that time, we become responsible for paying for all
their care, even though the animals are not yet permanent residents, so support from visitors like you makes a big difference.    
 
Lions Tigers & Bears recently petitioned for ownership, and Jem and Zoe now call our sanctuary their permanent, lifetime home.
  
Since coming into our care, they have gained weight and we are really happy about the progress we’ve seen in adjusting to their new life here.
