iger Ridge has always been a fully licensed facility taking great care of the animals. With the recent bear attack in Cleveland, the laws just got tougher and fast! Kenny’s 4 foot parimeter fence OUTSIDE the actual high fence holding the animals has been legal and approved for years. The new law states that it has to be 8 feet by November 1st. We’re talking about 1000′s of feet of 8 foot fence and fence posts. We need to help Kenny right now with donations as he has to get his hands on these materials and get them installed by November 1 or he could lose all of his animals and face great fines.
After that law passed in 2012, Hetrick has made changes to meet state requirements, such as obtaining a half-million dollar insurance policy, microchipping each animal, neutering them,etc.
