Not at all surprised. There have been signs she's been sick, due to improper care, for a long time now.

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.

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.
