    RAMONA, CA - APRIL 23:  A tiger, estimated to be seven-months-old, waits in a quarantine cage at Fund for Animals after being rescued by the Sate Department of Fish and Games April 23, 2003 in Ramona, California. This tiger was the one mentioned in a warrant, but when authorities arrived on the property they found many carcasses of adult and cub tigers. Nine baby tigers were found in a crawl space at a rural California residence, whose owner John Weinhart called Tiger Rescue, a retirement home for cats from the entertainment industry, along with 30 dead animals.

    Animals suffered and died left and right at a shabby Florida roadside zoo, which is aptly called Vanishing Species Wildlife. The outfit routinely took animals on the road to fairs, schools, and summer camps even when they were sick, hungry, dying, and stressed. Good news: Federal authorities have revoked this zoo's license!

    Schools and parents, take note: Paying animal exhibitors to hold presentations for your children supports cruelty to animals. Don't patronize any business that exploits animals for profit—please remove field trips to zoos and circuses from your school's curriculum.
