MJ's Animals Won't Flock Back to Neverland

If Neverland Ranch is turned into a memorial site for Michael Jackson, don't expect MJ's once beloved animals to make a triumphant return.

We spoke to Tippi Hedren -- who runs the Shambala Preserve in California where MJ's former tigers (Thriller and Sabu) live -- and she said, "The animals will not be going back ... they're staying with me at the sanctuary."

We also talked to Freddie Hancock -- the owner of the Voices of the Wild Foundation in Arizona which houses MJ's giraffes, birds and reptiles -- and she told us, "These animals have become a part of our lives as they were a part of Michael's ... [the return to Neverland] would depend on a variety of circumstances."

62. What a stupid circus this is turning out to be. He was just a product of a bad childhood that grew up with MAJOR issues . Sure he had some great songs, but people are getting a little crazy over this poor freak. He was just an entertainer. Big whoop.

65. please people MJ was just a little black boy from Gary Indiana who got a break just like many other people in the business
and because of the spin doctors he became a "star" and abused his meds and died end of story. Billy Mays died same reason,
same way, same age and all he got was a one day small paragraph on page two. get over yourselves and bury the pervert.
Oh, and Farrah Faucet died also, as did Ed McMahen and my mother, and a lot of others big deal get some news worthy of printing
