HollyWild Animal Park

Hollywild Animal Park is a non-profit zoo in Wellford, South Carolina.

Some of their stars include Tank the southern white rhinoceros, Capuchin monkeys, zebras, chimpanzees, African lions, cougars, an Appaloosa horse, macaws, lynx, Siberian tigers, brown bears, leopards, baboons, jaguars, orangutans, camels, and Asian elephants.

[4] On January 9, 2015, a zoo worker arrived on site to find smoke in a barn where some of the animals live.

Twenty-eight animals had died due to smoke inhalation, including eight endangered lemurs, two capuchin monkeys, four chimpanzees, two baboons, two mangabeys (monkeys), one bear cub, one African crowned crane, three tortoises, four wolf hybrid puppies, and one cat.

[5] As a result, the group PETA, which advocates for animal rights, called for park to be stripped of its license and shut down.
