Wild animals are incredible and who wouldn’t want to see them up close? If you have a hankering for seeing wild animals, go to a respected zoo – not a zoo that you find on the side of the road. Jeanette went undercover for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) in May 2017 at a roadside zoo located in Charlestown, Indiana. The name of the zoo was Wildlife in Need – and were those animals in need!

What they needed the most was to be rescued from abuse and mistreatment. Jeanette found a Saint Bernard dog living in the same enclosure as a lion and a hyena in living in a cramped cage.

Things only got worse the further into the zoo Jeanette went – like seeing guests taking pictures with tiger cubs and other exotic animals.
