I got this information from AZA Instagram. I do not know if this was announced, but Lily will go to another sanctuary when she fully recovers. AZA on Instagram: "Guess who's getting a second chance? In collaboration with @CaliforniaDFW, @OaklandZoo assisted with rescuing an eight-month-old female #Tiger from a privately owned facility in the western U.S. The Zoo’s #Veterinary Hospital staff performed a thorough physical exam, including a CT scan and bloodwork, revealing ten pathological fractures in the cub’s bones. To facilitate recovery, the young patient was supplemented with nutrients and given necessary pain medication. When she fully heals and is cleared medically, she will move to her new home in a sanctuary. With their expertise, knowledge, and exemplary standards of care, the Zoo is equipped to execute the rehabilitation this rescued female tiger needs to begin her long journey to recovery.

It is nice the herd continueing to grow and provide further Fx calves for the Iinniii Initiative project of the Blackfeet Nation.

Small redress for a totally ignored, conveniently forgotten deepest black stained part of North American true history, yet a very important step in restoring the balance in the prairie ecosytems of the central and northern part of the USA.
