Conservators Center Set To Re-Open After Lion Attack

The center made the announcement via their Facebook page.

The Conservators Center has announced it will re-open to the public on Saturday, January 19th if a USDA inspection has been completed by that date. 

The center closed after the death of 22-year-old Alexandra Black on Sunday, December 30. 

Black died after being killed by a lion that somehow left a locked space at the center and attacked Black while she was cleaning an enclosure.
