 In September 1995, the Waystation was contacted after some big cats escaped from Ligertown in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.They rescued 27 lions and ligers from "filthy, feces-filled tunnels and pens," many of them in poor health and ranging from cubs to full grown adults, but 19 others were killed by authorities in the roundup.The rescued animals were taken to the Waystation and cared for.
