We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit PETA's Online Community.

The short explanation of this alert was:
PETA routinely receives complaints about poor conditions at roadside zoos and privately run menageries throughout the country—facilities that often market themselves as tourist attractions or as refuges for rescued animals. After receiving disturbing information about cruelty, danger, and neglect for animals at one so-called "sanctuary" in Oklahoma known as G.W. Exotic Animal Memorial Park (GW), operated by Joe Schreibvogel, PETA sent an undercover investigator to document conditions and see what was really going on.

Instead of being "an upscale zoo for rescued animals" as claimed on its Web site, PETA found dead, dying, and injured animals; extremely crowded conditions; a serious lack of basic necessities such as food, water, and veterinary care; shamefully inadequate cages; and untrained and insufficient staff who were intentionally cruel to numerous animals.

Now we need your help! Please use the form below to contact the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and ask that the agency revoke GW's federal license.

Personalized letters always work best. Feel free to use the following text, but your message will carry more weight if you write your own customized message and subject line.
