Mexico City authorities continued relocating some of the nearly 200 lions, tigers, jaguars and other exotic big felines on Friday after police officers raided a sanctuary property almost 2 weeks ago.

Dozens of heavily armed officers executed a search at the "Black Jaguar White Tiger" animal sanctuary in early July after images of malnourished, distressed and injured lions circulated on social media.

The animal rights group called the site a "false sanctuary." Monkeys, dogs, donkeys and coyotes have been already moved to other shelters.
