Lions apparently not enough to keep intruders out
With 120 lions, tigers and other big cats on the grounds, the owner of a Colorado refuge didn’t think he needed a security system.
Nick Sculac says he changed his mind after two January break-ins at Serenity Springs Wildlife Center, 20 miles east of Colorado Springs.
The Colorado Springs Gazette reports someone scaled a 10-foot fence lined with barbed wire and cut a hole in a cage, letting three tigers out. Workers found the tigers roaming the compound the next morning.
Days later, employees arriving for work found two people inside the compound trying to pet a cougar through its cage. Sculac says they scaled the outer fence and drove away.
Sculac says nobody was hurt. He says he hired a guard and is shopping for a security system.
