County Issues Michael Holston a Cease and Desist Order

PETA sent requests to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Riverside County, California, urging them to take immediate action against The Wyld Jungle, an illegal roadside zoo in that state run by Michael Holston—a social media influencer with a history of violating state wildlife laws. PETA pointed out that Holston was exhibiting exotic animals without a federal license and operating in violation of local county zoning laws. Following the complaints and media attention, Riverside County issued The Wyld Jungle a cease and desist order.

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
