Minnesota Wildlife Connection Lee Greenly

Operating in Violation of the Big Cat Public Safety Act?

After PETA repeatedly alerted the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for years that Lee Greenly, the owner of local “game” farm Minnesota Wildlife Connection, was continuing to offer staged photo shoots with wolves, cougars, bears, and other wild animals despite the revocation of his exhibitor’s license in 2013, the agency just issued him a critical repeat citation for operating without a license. The USDA previously fined Greenly nearly $25,000 in 2019 for continuing to exhibit without a license and for selling two wolf pups and a cougar kitten to a roadside zoo in Wisconsin and cited him for operating without a license in 2018.

In addition, the individual was recently charged with a felony for stealing a “bobcat” machine.

What adds even more mystery to the situation is that the news article describes him as the “former” owner of Minnesota Wildlife Connection.
