Why didn't SeaWorld's AZA accreditation get revoked after they transferred pacific white sided dolphins multiple times to Miami Seaquarium (Non-AZA facility) but Columbus zoo lost theirs?

Transfers to non-AZA facilities are allowed if the proper channels are followed. It’s a lot of paperwork.

Giant pandas

A view of two giant pandas. The People's Republic of China loaned two pandas named Xing Xing and Qin Qin to the Columbus Zoo in the summer of 1992.

Some pictures from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s Wildlights! It was a chilly night but really fun to see all the lights around the zoo. They had a few light shows throughout, the train was running, characters are out (though not out this night for the members preview), refillable mugs for hot chocolate and coffee, and just a ton of fun. Hoping to go back sometime this week when it warms up just a bit more 😂

Asian small-clawed otters behind the scenes at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

This charismatic beast is the smallest otter species in the world, but they're threatened by poaching (for the pet trade, though they make horrible pets) and rampant habitat loss and pollution in their native Southeast Asia. Turns out estuaries are a great place for humans to build cities....

(note- I am an intern at the Zoo, this view is not afforded to the public and you should never get this close to wild otters! Keep wild animals wild!)

Is the Columbus zoo a good zoo to support? Its the only zoo I have access to but I wonder if it has any problems or anything

The Columbus Zoo is slightly tricky. They lost their AZA accreditation due to four zoo officials misuse of funds in 2021, which lost the zoo over half a million dollars. In addition to which, the AZA cited concerns about the zoo having a "long record of intentional and repeated animal transfers with non-AZA members intended to supply baby animals – mainly big cats – for entertainment purposes."

I don't have to tell you that that is terrible news, but things are looking up. Summer of 2022 Columbus Zoo gained ZAA accreditation, which holds weight. They are working on regaining their AZA status, so it appears these issues are on the mend. Ultimately the decision is yours, but I still think they are worth supporting. Go see the animals, ask questions, and get involved! I think it's fair to say that they wouldn't be ZAA accredited if they were still engaging in the shady practices that lpst them their AZA status.

It's not my niche but this came into my feed and I wanted to share for anyone out there who loves zoos. This dude really seems to care about the animals and the zoo, but I'm saying that with not much to compare it to so perhaps people who are passionate about it can let me know!
