Top 3 in Top 10 10 Eerie Abandoned Animal Parks.
Although it is open after World War II as a zoo so families connect with wildlife by stroking and feeding animals, farm game cats will soon be brought bad language.
Beginning in 1933 as a private animal farm and first opening to the public in 1945 at the Catskill, New York, the Catskill game Farm is the first privately owned zoo in the United States and is the largest zoo in a time. It includes deer, bison, llamas, zebras, and Antelope,... With an area you can walk and feed the animals.
The zoo has been brilliantly successful when it is open, as the Catskill range is a popular tourist spot and zoo founder, Roland Lindemann, has spent much of his time expanding zoos to include rare and endangered animals, increasing population to 600 wildlife and 200 species of domestication animals.
But in the early 1990, the zoo was announced when an article brought news that the animals were sold to game hunters for hunting. Before the park closed in 2006, the protemen overflowed the zoo's gates to try to make the owners donate the animals to the sanctuary. When it came at auction the animals after closing the park, activists attempted to buy as many animals as possible, but many still look to the game hunter with the highest bid.
In 2012, the property was acquired by Ben and Cathy Ballone, in hopes of restoring the base and turning the buildings into a hostel and campground. Recently, they opened old hostels in the renovated rest of the old giraffe Barn, giving the park an abandoned new life and a brighter future.
