Ligertown Hybrids Ring Up Tab

From Staff And Wire Reports

Concerns for wolf hybrids confiscated from the Ligertown game farm are multiplying because the animals themselves are multiplying.

Two litters of pups have been born and at least two more are expected soon. The 42 adults have been housed at a former zoo in Roberts since they were confiscated from Robert Fieber and Dotti Martin.

Nineteen African lions were killed following an escape from the ramshackle farm near Lava Hot Springs. The couple has been charged with 107 misdemeanor charges.

Bannock County has been caring for the hybrids. Undersheriff Lorin Nielsen said it has cost up to $30,000. Bannock County, Idaho State Police and Jefferson County personnel have kept a constant watch on the animals.
