Feds drop probe into Puerto Rico zoo where various species died before getting transferred to US sanctuary
Fox News
The investigation in Puerto Rico’s lone zoo where various animals died has been dropped. The remaining animals will be transferred to sanctuaries in the U.S. mainland.
"We cannot change what happened in the past," U.S. Attorney Stephen Muldrow said. "Animals died."
However, he stressed that going to court would only delay the transfer of the zoo’s remaining animals, which number some 300 and range from a tarantula to a lone elephant.
