Animals of Montana Operator’s Exhibitor’s License Permanently Revoked

Troy Hyde, operator of the roadside zoo Animals of Montana and longtime exploiter of animals for movies and photoshoots, had his state exhibitor’s license permanently revoked after inspectors found 22 separate violations of Montana’s captive-animal welfare regulations. PETA had updated the U.S. Department of Agriculture, calling for the agency to begin proceedings to terminate Hyde’s license—and just a month later, the agency did just that!
