In the midst of our trying to evict unwanted tenants/volunteers, they became disgruntled and caused many nights of worry for months before they departed. They removed a stake wire from the bottom of Savannah’s enclosure, allowing her a very small area to squeeze out. She never left the property, wandered around quietly and slowly, causing no damage to the volunteers that were here or the goats that wander freely, finally settling down by Rajah the tiger and waited for three hours for FWC to arrive with tranquilizing equipment. She was sedated and moved without incident. She is now in an enclosure with a 3 feet deep and 2 feet wide cement footer.
