Not at all surprised. There have been signs she's been sick, due to improper care, for a long time now.
 
Did she have calves taken from her as well? Like Levi?

Levi wasn't born at AAP, he was born at Adirondack Animal Land. Jase (2010) went to Wild Animal Park some time before turning 2. Levi (2011) went to Living Treasures at 7 months. Autumn (2013) was removed nearly immediately, not sure where she ended up. Jigsaw (2015) was removed at 4 weeks and sent to Zootastic Park. Tajiri (2017) is still at AAP. Azizi (2019, died 2020) went to East Texas Zoo & Gator Park at 8 months.

WTF, Milwaukee? That's going to be major ARA fuel, deservedly so :(

I'm surprised this was publicly disclosed, but a large portion of male AZA born hoofstock cannot be accommodated in the AZA (a decent portion do go to bachelor herds, but fewer than 50% of spaces are available for male animals, so a decent portion will go to unaccredited zoos)

I'm aware of that :) But there's a difference between sending to a place that is just non-AZA and sending to a place known for terrible care of the species, one that is a focus of ARA because of that care.
 
On July 16th, the park announced that for the first time since 2015, (2.0) tiger cubs (species not given) named Bao and Ming have been acquired. There is also a new tiger exhibit, complete with raised viewing decks, waterfalls, pools, and overhead tunnels, which will be complete by the end of Summer 2021.
