Ontario Sanctuary Secretly Housed Lions, Causing Uproar

A sanctuary secretly housed lions in Ontario cottage country — then came the uproar from neighbours

Some people living near the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in the Parry Sound, Ont., area say a compound with lions rescued from a Quebec zoo was too close for comfort last summer. The sanctuary's executive director says she wouldn't automatically rule out accepting a lion or tiger in the future, if asked.
