SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - The mayor of Sioux Falls has announced a "strategic pause" in the city's plans to get rid of an arsenic-contaminated collecti.
The Sioux Falls mayor announced a "strategic pause" Friday in the city's plans to ditch an arsenic-contaminated menagerie of more than 150 taxidermy animals that fill a now-closed natural history museum at the state's largest zoo. The move follows intense pushback from the community and museum taxidermy experts, who say the arsenic risk is overblown. Older taxidermy specimens are frequently displayed, experts say, with museums taking precautions like using special vacuums to clean them or to encase them in glass.
