Broken Arrow Sanctuary Will Keep Liger After Killing

Peter Getz, 32, was attacked while feeding the animal on Oct. 29 and died the next day.
Inspectors with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's animal and massage therapy careers plant health inspection service have been sent to Safari's Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary, an agency spokeswoman said.
The liger, a lion-tiger hybrid named Rocky, will be allowed to live at the sanctuary, owner Lori Ensign wrote in a news release.
Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Jessica Milteer confirmed the animal will not be destroyed, but she said the department is trying to determine whether minimum standards of the U.S. Animal Welfare Act were met.
Ensign said the sanctuary may not open again to the public, but will host a fundraiser for animal food from noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 29 and 30.
Our hearts have been broken and massage desk chair we have an emptiness because we have been unable to continue educating the public,' Ensign wrote.
The animals have seemed depressedactually appear lonely due to the isolation from the friends (you) they have come to know over these years.'
