report, the veterinarian was never called. The pig was described as hunched and walking with “significant stiffness” in her rear legs. The report states the zoo noted the abnormal gait before the inspection, but in a phone call with the USDA, the vet said she was unaware of lameness in any of Tregembo’s three pigs. The vet then contacted the zookeepers to learn more and issue a medical care plan, according to the report. Per the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA), licensed exhibitors are required to maintain veterinary care. The report states the facility corrected the lack of communication and a treatment plan has begun.
