GREENVILLE, WI (WTAQ) – Owners of a private zoo near Appleton say four stolen baby goats and a five-month-old kangaroo will probably never be found alive.
The animals were reported stolen May 7th from the Special Memories Zoo at Greenville.
Co-owner Dona Wheeler tells the Appleton Post-Crescent that the animals needed special care in the early part of their lives.
The mother kangaroo was injured when her joey was stolen — and Wheeler and her husband are not certain if the mother can have another offspring.
The shelter was not locked at the time of the thefts, but that has changed.
Dona Wheeler says the couple is now installing surveillance cameras, a security gate, and a chain-link fence.
