“Once they get bigger and can no longer be used for public interactions, they are usually cast off and sent to seedy roadside zoos or other substandard facilities or negligently kept as dangerous ‘pets’ by private owners who cannot fulfill even their most basic needs,” she wrote. “Big cats may even be killed in order to sell their meat, skins, organs, and other body parts.”
Does anyone believe that this happens here from legit zoo's? If it does than I'm totally in the dark... but I doubt that's the case.
