Oakland Zoo, PETA rescue animals from 'deplorable' zoo

More than 50 species, including box turtles, tortoises, pythons, bears and exotic birds were rescued from a non-accredited zoo in Maryland by workers from the Oakland Zoo and PETA. A deal to shut the Tri State Zoological Park required finding new homes for the animals that critics said lived in deplorable conditions. Some of the animals will become housed at the Oakland Zoo.
