The San Francisco Zoo, run by the SF Zoological Society, is currently embroiled in controversy as board members attempted but failed to remove long-serving executive director Tanya Peterson. The city, which funds the zoo, has commissioned a six-month audit due to mounting management issues and safety concerns. A lack of cooperation in document submission for the audit has sparked tensions, with some city officials questioning the society's competence. This turmoil is compounded by recent resignations from board members following the failed coup, raising questions about the zoo's future management.
"This whole debacle is a complete embarrassment. It's apparent that the SF Zoological Society is inept." - Larry Mazzola Jr.
"There has been ongoing tension over whether zoo management has provided the requested documentation to the Office of the Budget and Legislative Analyst which conducts audits for the city."
"The city commissioned an audit of the zoo amid reports last year of management issues and safety concerns for both zoo animals and zookeepers."
