MICHAEL’S ANIMALS MOVED TO ARIZONA
Michael Jackson’s Neverland menagerie is alive and well — and living just a hop, skip and jump from the Grand Canyon.
Voices of the Wild Foundation (VWF), a non-profit organization based in remote Page, Arizona (USA) that provides sanctuary to exotic animals, has adopted the bulk of Michael’s zoo — including four giraffes, nine parrots and three giant pythons. VWF said the animals arrived "in good condition, with no signs of mistreatment". Two caymans and two anacondas (now living in Oklahoma) are also set to join the herd in the coming months.
At the moment the animals are living in temporary quarters. But VWF says it plans to build a new preserve to house them, as well as other needy creatures like tigers and zebra. The multimillion-dollar, 185-acre Banjoko Wildlife Preserve will feature sprawling habitats, a reptile house, an aviary and a veterinary clinic.
The VWF is encouraging Michael Jackson to visit his former pets in Page anytime he wants. Preserve manager Marc Chandler said in an interview:
“It's not that he gave them up because he didn't want animals anymore. It was a financial situation and they were caught in the middle of it.
Michael is welcome to be a part of their lives.”
