Our community wants to open a zoo. Where can we get the animals?

Where can we get the animals to open a zoo in our community. Also, how do we go about doing this? Our community is close to a levee area, so we have plenty of water.

    Contact other similar establishments.

  • First, you must form an official, government-recognized entity. You also need staff that is certified in exotic animal care, and you should pursue accreditation from a credible organization, such as this one:

    You will need insurance, policies, procedures, an accounting system, etc.

    Without all of this, your "zoo" will harm animals and people.
