Zoo Board Reports Progress Meeting Task Force's Recommendations

From WTOL News:

TOLEDO -- The board of directors at the Toledo Zoo say positive changes continue to be made -- with improvements affecting everything from animal care to personnel.
Board members told the Lucas County commissioners Friday that, of 115 recommendations made by a citizens task force, 67% have been implemented. The rest are in the process of being completed.
Marty Skeldon, Toledo Zoo Citizens Task Force, told News 11, "I believe they're working as hard as they possibly can to get these recommendations implemented, and to have a better culture at the Toledo Zoo. When you have a change of culture in any organization, it takes time."
The task force was formed after the Zoo's chief vet was fired and executive director resigned.

It appears the Zoo is making the right moves to get back on course.

I was skeptical of this whole process, but now it seems to be a way to have healthier animals. AND the humans might very well be able to finally get along, as well.
