The following areas were found in need of repair or replacement: 1. The indoor enclosures and holding areas for the cheetahs had flaking and pitted rust on the metal bars of the enclosure. 2. The plywood in the indoor giraffe housing area currently has several areas where the surface layer of the wood has peeled or chipped away. From the floor level to approximately 1 foot in height around the indoor enclosure there was water staining and soaked areas of plywood. 3. The black floor mat in the entry way of the indoor giraffe enclosure was significantly peeling, with missing chunks. 4. In the hoof-stock and rhino barns the plastic weather/freezer strips hung at the top of the doors were in disrepair. These strips were broken in several enclosures and throughout all enclosures were stained with fecal material, dirt and debris. 5. In the Med barn, the roof has a large area that is wet on the inside from water damage from a leak in the roof. 6. In the Med barn, along both sides of the hallway fronting the stalls, there is missing wood at the base and there is water damage. All of these areas are in need of repair or replacement. All animal enclosures must be properly maintained to adequately contain the animals and protect them from injury. These repairs will also promote proper cleaning of enclosures to facilitate the prescribed husbandry practices set forth in the regulations and standards. Correct by 16 November 2015
