Cicchelli Second Chance Rescue and Exotics, a roadside zoo in Lake City, Michigan, has been permanently shut down by federal officials.

Cy Vierstra of Union Ridge Wildlife Center used stolen money to purchase exotic animals, kayaks, hot tubs and items for his roadside zoo.

An African porcupine has escaped from the home of Tiger Creek Animal Sanctuary employee Natasha Chab and is on the loose in Flint, Texas.

The animals at Union Ridge Wildlife Center are being rehomed, according to Ohio officials, weeks after Cy Vierstra was sentenced to prison.
