Action Alerts Urge Revocation of Dickerson Park Zoo's Accreditation on this issue ! Documents received by PETA reveal that in 2007, the Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, Missouri, "donated" a kudu and a kangaroo to Buddy Jordan, a notorious animal dealer who has been featured in numerous media investigative reports, all of which documented that Jordan sold animals to hunting ranches, operators of exotic-animal auctions, exotic-animal breeders and dealers, unaccredited zoos, and pet owners. The zoo also sold two giraffes to Los Jaboncillos Ranch in Texas and transferred three kangaroos and a wallaby to Dianna Tatum, a licensed animal dealer. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) states that it accredits "only those institutions that have achieved rigorous standards for animal care" and has a policy that prohibits accredited zoos from sending animals to auction or to hunting ranches. Clearly, the Dickerson Park Zoo fails on all counts. |
