KEENESBURG, Colo. (AP) - One of the nation's biggest sanctuaries for tigers, lions and bears said Tuesday it is shutting down because of a lack of donations, and added that it may have to destroy the animals if it cannot find new homes for them.
The 27-year-old Wild Animal Sanctuary will stay open another two weeks at most, executive director Pat Craig said in a statement.
He said the sanctuary, which costs $15,000 a week to run, was in "major debt" because past donors diverted their money to victims of recent hurricanes, earthquakes and the 2004 tsunami.
