Description
The successor to his family’s business pled guilty in a Coos County Circuit Court Monday, April 20, at Coquille to 43 charges of Animal Neglect, as well as other charges involving Illegal Drugs, Illegal Firearms and Recklessly Endangering Another at West Coast Game Park, south of Bandon. Brian Tenney took over the business when his father Bob Tenney retired. The elder Tenney built an open popular wildlife park that included raising rare breeds in captivity that were sent to other parks. It was a 21-acre park he was proud of. However, his son allegedly neglected the animals to a point that some had to be euthanized following a law enforcement early morning raid in May of 2025 that also discovered about $1.6 million in cash on the property. Officials confiscated 322-animals from West Coast Safari. Tenney is scheduled to be sentenced on July 20, 2026. His co-defendant, 31-year old Edith Sarah Beckner, Bandon, is scheduled to also appear in court that day.
