Summary:
The State of California ordered Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch to be shut down. Jackson began selling off his exotic animals, including elephants, tigers, orangutans, crocodile, and giraffes, for as little as one-quarter of their true value. A later report (04/26/06) stated that Jackson had quietly employed staff to care for his animals, which remained in his Neverland zoo.
