| 5823 | 3c17b5419be13c89 | 2.131(c)(1) | 1 | HANDLING OF ANIMALS. | The public continues to be permitted to walk directly up the primary enclosures containing various species of animals. This includes 2 camels, 9 jersey cows, 47 sheep, 26 goats, 2 African porcupines, and 3 kangaroos. There are no barriers or signs present to discourage public contact and the guest are encouraged to feed food sold at the entry gate. There is no attendant present during this public contact and guests were observed during this inspection walking directly up to goat enclosures and petting the animals. Primary enclosure fences are made of material with spaces large enough for the guests to reach through and touch the animals. This unattended public contact continues to be a problem at this facility and does not ensure safe public interaction with these animals. Barriers or sufficient distance must be provided to ensure the safety of both the public and the animals. THIS IS A REPEAT NON-COMPLIANT ITEM THAT REMAINS UNCORRECTED |
