(a) ***** At time of inspection the chain-link fabric used for the enclosure located directly west of the leopard enclosure consisted of several different sized pieces of chain-link fabric. Where the two eight foot sections where joined together there were several locations which had not been fastened together they were simply overlapping each other. There were several places where they were not fastened to the posts used to support the construction, At the top there was no top rail or tension wire which was securely fastened to the posts for supporting the chain link fabric. This was the construction of the south wall of this enclosure. The walls of the rest of the enclosure consisted of chain-link fabric in various sizes with the use of a tension wire along the top which was not attached to the post supports and in some locations missing entirely. ***** In the enclosure next to this enclosure to the north it was constructed of chain-link fabric and posts with what was to be considered a 45 degree kick in of chain-link material along the top. The fabric along the top sagged in many places from having no top support such as a tension wire or top rail. This fails to provide the type of system that is considered appropriate to maintain the enclosure in good repair and the animal securely within the enclosure should it decide to attempt to escape.
