Popcorn Park Zoo is a small 7-acre (28,000 m2) zoo located in Forked River, New Jersey, within Lacey Township. According to the Associated Humane Societies, the zoo is "a sanctuary for abandoned, injured, ill, exploited, abused or elderly wildlife, exotic and farm animals, and birds."[1] The zoo has programs to educate visitors about animals and their environments and offers hundreds of rescued dogs and cats for adoption.[2]

Park animals suffered an attack in May 2003, when three teenagers, all 18, bludgeoned to death three ducks, three emus and two rheas. The teens were arraigned and held on $50,000 bail a week later.[3]
