Court Orders Tri-State Zoo to Pay PETA Thousands of Dollars

PETA won another victory in our successful federal Endangered Species Act lawsuit against Tri-State Zoological Park and its associates: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit granted our motion to be awarded attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in conjunction with Tri-State’s appeal, which it lost earlier this year. The court’s order included the full amount that we requested—$57,949.28—and follows a previous order for fees and costs by the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, bringing the total amount that Tri-State must pay us to $114,605.05.
