5-23-15 missing zoo animals

GREENVILLE, Wis. (AP) — The owners of a northeastern Wisconsin zoo say they do not believe a 5-month-old kangaroo and four baby goats that were taken will be found alive.  The animals from Special Memories Zoo in Outagamie County were reported stolen May 7. Dona Wheeler, who owns the zoo with her husband, says that the animals require special care in the early stage of their lives.  The mother kangaroo was also injured when her joey was taken, and the Wheelers aren’t sure if the mother will be able to have another joey.  Dona Wheeler has said the shelter the animals were in wasn’t locked, and that they haven’t had issues before. They’re now installing a chain-link fence, a security gate and cameras at the facility.
