CHITTENANGO, N.Y. -- The owner of the Wild Animal Park in Chittenango says the town of Sullivan is suing him in an effort to shut down a new drive-thru safari.
Jeff Taylor, who runs the park, said in a social media post he was served papers today from the town. He said the legal move will ultimately lead “to the closure of the zoo.”
Taylor said he and his staff made a large investment in building the drive-thru as a way the park could open during the coronavirus pandemic. He said he told the town “it was an emergency situation to save my business.”
The town "was not fully supportive, but they did not tell me no,'' Taylor said.
The animal park at 7621 Lakeport Road opened the drive-thru safari on May 18.
Taylor said he was served papers telling him to stop operations. The lawsuit says he doesn’t have approval for the safari, he said.
Town of Sullivan officials could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.
Taylor said he has no plans to close right now, and will continue to operate the safari until he can fully open the zoo.
Due to the lawsuit, Taylor said on social media "at this point I am going to sell the zoo and all my properties,'' he said. “I just can’t fight them anymore. As of right now 2020 will be my final year open.”
A Change.org petition has been started to save the zoo, and so far nearly 5,000 people have signed.
