| 14268 | 8c218df2b59de6a6 | 2.131(c)(1) | 1 | HANDLING OF ANIMALS. | On Tuesday August 19th, 2014 two inspectors from USDA/AC attended the 6pm 'Tiger Playtime' at the facility. During this encounter up to 30 members of the public are allowed to sit in an area surrounded by fence panels under a tent where two tiger cubs (said to be 14 weeks of age and approximately 25-30lbs) were let into the room to interact freely with the adults and children present. During the show, the licensee was in the area for the first part of the event with one assistant. When the Licensee left, another assistant entered the area. Before the release of the white tiger into the room, the licensee aggravated the tiger by grabbing her by the scruff and bouncing her up and down on his lap and ground while the tiger hissed, growled, and bit at his glove covered hands. The tiger's ears were pinned to the side of its head during that part of the encounter and was not acting in a relaxed manner. As described by the Licensee, the tiger was "pissed off". While the tiger was agitated, the licensee dropped the tiger in the lap of the unsuspecting member of the public sitting next to him. The tiger jumped off this man's lap with its ears still pinned to its head. The tiger then walked away and flopped onto the floor. At this time the tiger's ears returned to a normal un-agitated position and another tiger was released into the room. The tigers walked, played, and jumped around on many members of the public. People were lying down next to them, petting them and taking photos with them during the length of the event. There were three incidents where members of the public were scratched or bitten during the play time. One older female was pawed and mouthed in the face by the white tiger. A young boy (estimated to be approximately 10yrs old) was bitten on the top of his thigh. The child did yell out, pushed the tiger off of his leg, and crawled away rubbing his thigh. One of the assistants asked him if his leg was still 'attached' and teased him about his leg being chewed like a drumstick. The boy continued to pet and pl… | |
| 14269 | 8c218df2b59de6a6 | 3.3(e)(1) | 1 | SHELTERED HOUSING FACILITIES. | The issue with unsealed wood continues with the three domestic dog-hybrids (three wolf-dog hybrid and two coyote-dog hybrids) that continue to be housed in a sheltered enclosure towards the bear enclosure. The sheltered portion of the primary enclosure housing these dogs is constructed of unsealed wood which is not impervious to water with support posts that have been chewed. The dirt floors under the sheltered portion of the enclosure do not have access to direct sunlight and can not be sanitized. Walls and flooring constructed of unsealed wood and dirt which are permeable to moisture provide an optimal area for bacterial and fungal growth both of which can cause disease in the dogs housed in these enclosures. Ultimately the failure to construct dog enclosures out of surfaces that are impervious to moisture results in an inability to properly clean and sanitize the primary enclosures and creates an increased risk of disease and illness. The new enclosures are still being scheduled for completion that will house all wolf-dog and wolf-coyote hybrids according to AWA standards and regulations. The licensee advised that the current enclosures will remain as is until the animals are moved to the new enclosures. Failure to follow through with the planned repairs or new buildings that meet the AWA standards and regulations will cause the animals to continue to be housed in a structure that is not impervious to moisture and can not be sanitized due to chewed wood or unsealed cement. | |
| 14270 | 8c218df2b59de6a6 | 3.11(b)(2) | 1 | CLEANING, SANITIZATION, HOUSEKEEPING, AND PEST CONTROL. | In the 2 enclosures that house five dogs (three wolf-dog hybrid and two coyote-dog hybrids) are housed in a sheltered primary enclosure towards the bears continue to have an accumulation of more than 2 days of fecal material and hair. The accumulated debris is evidence that current cleaning and sanitation protocols are inadequate to prevent their accumulation. Cleaning is still not being done at a rate to decrease accumulation of excreta, urine soaked areas or food waste. The meat that was put into the enclosure had an accumulation of fly eggs due to the heat and moisture over the past 2 days, and has not been eaten or the left over waste removed. Accumulated organic debris provides an optimal area for the growth of bacterial and fungal pathogens creating a disease hazard for the dogs. Additionally, this accumulated debris can attract pests including flies and vermin as well as contributes to odors within the facility. The licensee must increase cleaning of fecal material to be as often as necessary to prevent accumulation of dirt, debris, excreta and food waste and sanitizing at least once every two weeks. | |
| 14271 | 8c218df2b59de6a6 | 3.125 | 1 | FACILITIES, GENERAL. | There are 3 original enclosures from the last inspection that are still in violation due to fencing being less than 12 feet high, as construction of the new enclosures are still in the planning process. The three large felid enclosures contain a total of 2 Tigers and 2 Lion and 1 dog. The remaining three affected enclosures that need correction are: Tiger Pen 4: contains one Tiger referred to as Nahandi Tiger Pen 5: contains one Tiger referred to as Glacier and one lion known Ungowwa Lion Pen 1: contains one male lion referred to as Cheif and Bandit(dog) None of these remaining pens have any angled top fencing (kick-in) or any species appropriate high tensile smooth electrical wire to provide additional deterrents for escape. In the Bear enclosure (four adult bears) with the pond, there were still several broken pieces of a wooden walkway along the fence with protruding nails(1-2inches) that was moved from the worn pathway into the grass along side of it. The bear pacing near the fence was avoiding the grass area where the wood with nails way lying, however it still poses a potential for injury as now the nails are not as well seen by the animals. Exposed nails and broken pieces of wood can be sources of injury and infection if the regulated animals scratch or puncture themselves on the materials. The reported enclosures(Tiger 4,5 and Lion 1) need to be built according to standards and regulation as currently they are not tall enough to properly contain the animals as these adult tigers could easily jump/climb out of the enclosure if they were motivated to do so. An escape places the animal's life in jeopardy and may endanger the safety of the public. All broken pieces of wooden material with exposed nails in the enclosure shall be removed and/or repaired to prevent any injuries to the regulated animals. | |
| 14272 | 8c218df2b59de6a6 | 3.130 | 1 | WATERING. | There were still several Tiger water pools (enclosures' 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ) that were green with algae, including the bear pond with (4 bears), 2 cougars and the 1 lion and dog(Bandit). The water pools had floating clumps of algae in some areas or a coating of algae on the bottom or sides of the metal tubs/pools. The black leopard had green floating algae in his water tank that has not been cleaned in 6-8 days. The 8 foxes, 1 cougar and 2 porcupines had floating algae on all of their water buckets. Algae buildup can cause the water to be a source of harmful organisms that can be toxic to the animal and cause possible health issues. The buildup of algae can cause skin disorders and is not a suitable drinking source. The licensee must clean the water pools and water drinking sources as often as necessary to prevent the buildup of algae. Inspection and exit interview was conducted with the licensee and his wife. By the licensee signing this document, it is not an admission of guilt but serves to only reflect the licensees' receipt of the report and exit interview.
