The Holtsville Ecology Center is facing serious allegations of animal neglect, particularly concerning the treatment of a bear named Honey, who was euthanized after suffering a stroke.
The Suffolk County District Attorney's office, along with the state Department of Environmental Conservation, is investigating claims of neglect and mistreatment of animals at the facility.
Former employees and advocates have raised concerns about the deaths of several creatures allegedly resulting from improper veterinary care at the center.
Following significant public concern and advocacy group interventions, the town is increasing oversight of the Holtsville Ecology Center to ensure better treatment of its resident animals.
