Rescuers who arrived at the Cricket Hollow Zoo near Manchester on Monday discovered some of the animals were missing. The judge had ordered that all exotic animals at the zoo be removed immediately due to “deplorable” conditions. Zoo owners Pam and Tom Sellner appealed, but the Iowa Supreme Court ruled the rescue could continue. If the animals left Cricket Hollow Zoo after the court order, that would mean the zoo is in violation of the court order and in contempt of the court – which could result in jail time of up to six months.
