GREENVILLE, WI (WTAQ) - A routine inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture uncovered violations at a Fox Valley zoo which recently had animals stolen from it.
Earlier this month, the USDA inspection found things like rodent droppings in and around the food storage area for the primates at Special Memories Zoo in Greenville.
It also discovered that some animals, like monkeys and a lemur, didn't have enough water to drink.
Owners of the zoo say they're currently taking steps to correct these "minor violations."
The inspector also found that the stall where a white deer is kept didn’t have a clean space to lay down, as all its bedding was soiled.
The zoo owners say at the time of the inspection, they were moving the animals from their winter living quarters to the actual zoo, and that no animals were in any danger.
The inspection came just days before the zoo says a baby kangaroo and four baby goats were stolen. Owners have said they don’t believe the animals are still alive.
