Termination of Troy Hyde’s State Exhibitor’s License

Troy Hyde, who operated the roadside zoo Animals of Montana and had long exploited animals for movies and photo shoots, has his state exhibitor’s license permanently revoked after inspectors find 22 separate violations of Montana’s captive-animal welfare regulations. PETA had updated the U.S. Department of Agriculture, calling for it to begin proceedings to terminate Hyde’s license, and just a month later, the agency did just that.
