Wilson’s Wild Animal Park Owner Charged With Cruelty to Animals

Following years of work by PETA, Keith Wilson, the owner of Wilson’s Wild Animal Park in Winchester, Virginia, was charged with 46 counts of cruelty to animals. These charges come after state officials inspected the facility and seized more than 100 animals found in squalid and inadequate enclosures, including bears, tigers, lions, primates, and many others. Wilson’s nephew was also charged with 45 counts of cruelty to animals.
