Oregon’s West Coast Game Park Safari has come under intense scrutiny as police served search warrants at the facility following disturbing revelations from USDA inspection reports. The park, housing over 450 animals of 75 species, has been flagged for severe neglect and mistreatment. Reports highlighted egregious violations, including animals left to starve, lack of medical care leading to deaths, and inadequate supervision of guest-animal interactions.

Recent USDA reports detailed alarming deficiencies, such as animals showing signs of malnutrition and inadequate veterinary care. Violations ranged from safety concerns for both animals and visitors to unsanitary conditions like rodent feces in animal food. Repeat offenses, including insufficient fencing for dangerous animals and delayed medical attention for critically ill animals, underscored systemic issues at the park.

Past transgressions revealed a pattern of negligence, with instances of endangering public safety by allowing guests to interact with dangerous animals and causing harm to animals through misguided actions. The ongoing criminal investigation involving multiple state agencies signifies the severity of the situation, with potential charges pending. Authorities have urged the public to steer clear of the park as more details are expected to emerge, shedding light on the troubling conditions endured by the captive wildlife.
