Mission

THE ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS FOR THE ANIMALS AS A COLLECTION AND EXPENSES THESE COSTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH GAAP SINCE THE ANIMALS ARE (A) HELD FOR PUBLIC EXHIBITION, EDUCATION, OR RESEARCH IN FURTHERANCE OF PUBLIC SERVICE RATHER THAN FINANCIAL GAIN, (B) PROTECTED, KEPT UNENCUMBERED, CARED FOR, AND PRESERVED, AND (C) SUBJECT TO AN ORGANIZATIONAL POLICY THAT REQUIRES THE PROCEEDS OF ITEMS THAT ARE SOLD TO BE USED TO ACQUIRE OTHER ITEMS FOR COLLECTIONS ABSENT ANY DONOR IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS OR FOR THE DIRECT CARE OF EXISTING COLLECTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, IT IS IMPRACTICABLE TO ATTEMPT TO ASSIGN VALUES TO THE COLLECTION BECAUSE THE ANIMALS HAVE CERTAIN ATTRIBUTES, SUCH AS SPECIES, SEX, AGE, BREEDING POTENTIAL, AND RELATIONSHIP TO OTHERS IN THE ECOSYSTEM THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE AN OBJECTIVE BASIS FOR VALUATION. FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023, NO ANIMAL ACQUISITIONS OCCURRED. WHEN SUCH ACQUISITIONS DO OCCUR, THEY ARE PRESENTED AS A SEPARATE COMPONENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS IN THE ACCOMPANYING STATEMENTS OF ACTIVITIES AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS (DEFICIT).
