Introduction
• Fo’s dail otes, hih she as euied to file ith he supeiso, desied he
worries about the bear.
• Fo fiall eae so upset ith the ea’s oditio that she asked to e tasfeed to
another part of the zoo.
• Feh esiged afte the ea’s death.
• As a result of the investigation, the zoo was fined $1500 by the Ministry of Natural
Resources for violating federal animal welfare regulations.
• The zoo also agreed to create an animal reporting system so that employees could raise
any concerns they had about animal welfare.
• Although nothing ever resulted from this agreement.
• In February 2013, the Ministry of Natural Resources began an investigation of animal
deaths that had occurred at the zoo over the past several years
• Cupid, a hippopotamus, died in the summer of 2012 at the age of 49.
• While the veterinary staff raised some questionable circumstances concerning the
death, zoo offiials disissed the aial’s death as old age.
• George, a 14-year-old giraffe, died in 2010 from tetanus three weeks after he was gored
by a kudu when the two were put in an enclosure together.
• Medusa, the female sloth bear, died in December 2009.
• Zoo officials were puzzled about why the Ministry of Natural Resources had decided to
investigate these deaths.
• Initially, my gut reaction was that the Ministry of Natural Resources was just stepping
things up because of what had transpired at that other zoo, a zoo spokesperson said.
• The spokesperson was referring to several suspicious animal deaths, including an
orangutan euthanized by mistake, at a large zoo in another part of the country.
• As the Ministry of Natural Resources investigation progressed, however, many zoo staff
became nervous about the way it was being conducted.
