Republican legislators are considering a bill that would weaken Wisconsin regulators' oversight of small zoos.
But animal rights activists countered that the AZA’s standards are far superior to the ZAA and that group has been trying to convince legislatures around the country to exempt its members from government oversight. Similar bills failed in Minnesota last year and in Michigan in 2013.
But accredited AZA members don’t need DNR licenses. The organization has operated for nearly 100 years and has been accrediting zoos since 1974. “We focus on the safety of the animal and professionals and visitors,” ZAA Executive Director Kelly George told the committee. The ZAA is extremely strict, down to demanding zoo operators repair chipped paint, he told the committee.
