Hollywild Animal Park has just received a call from News Channel 4 stating that they have had reports from people suggesting that Hollywild animals are loose on Little Mountain Road. I can confirm that all animals in the Hollywild collection are accounted for and are on Park property.
At 10:04 PM, staff received videos and a photo showing black and brown cows that appear to be on Little Mountain Road. None of our staff has seen any of our animals outside Hollywild property. All animals have been accounted for.
1: Hollywild’s founder (David Meeks) was contacted by a sheriff’s deputy who had received calls about animals loose on Little Mountain Road. Mr. Meeks was not on park property and immediately contacted those who were.
2: Our assistant director, Mary Lee Rollins, went immediately to the park boundary at Little Mountain Road. She did not see any animals on the roadway or outside the park grounds. She did observe several of the large cattle in an area that is visible from the road, but that is still within park property.
3: Additional staff responded to the call verifying that animals from all areas of the park are accounted for.
