Illinois animal bill could affect Rainbow Ranch and other traveling petting zoos
If legislation goes through, Rainbow Ranch, located west of Nashville, IL could be restricted on the animals that travel in his petting zoo. A proposal in the state Senate would call for banning bears, cougars, giraffes, gray and red kangaroos, hippopotamuses, jaguars, leopards, lions, non-human primates, rhinoceroses, tapirs, tigers and zebras, from being used in traveling animal acts, such as circuses, petting zoos.
