Military weapons, dead animals, and a concrete vault all part of safari park investigation
2 min read
Court documents are revealing more information about the conditions and contents of a troubled animal safari park on the Southern Oregon Coast. The affidavit, which was filed on May 16 and authored by a detective, breaks down findings by authorities over the course of years, United States Department of Agriculture reports, complaints from PETA, and photos of the owner’s property.
In the affidavit, the owner of the West Coast Game Park, Brian Tenney, is accused of owning military-caliber weapons — like a 20 mm cannon and a .50-caliber rifle — and a concrete vault on his property.
The roughly 100-page probable cause affidavit reveals allegations that some of the animals at the game park were killing each other, and that Tenney was keeping some animals illegally.
