Ride for the Wild 2010

PIRU - The stars were supposed to be the several hundred bikers and specialty car drivers who on Sunday helped raise money for the nonprofit animal sanctuary Wildlife Waystation.

But it was the animals who stole the thunder.

Animals like Drifter, a 13-year-old Siberian tiger who was on display at Phil Smith's Movie Animals facility in Piru which marked the finish line of the 45-mile fundraising Ride for the Wild Run from Glendale.
