hmm? What's wrong with the ZAA

ZAA's standards are very minimal, to the point that nearly anyone applying will get approved. Many of their members have had major USDA violations over the years. It's little more than a way for roadside zoos to claim some form of accreditation to make themselves look decent. Their board of directors tends to loaded with rather notorious/shady people, as well.
 
How many black belly sheep does this facility have? Also if it’s the same mothers being bred over and over again isn’t that really bad for their welfare?

Also wasn’t Doc Antles facility ZAA at one point? As well the same with Joe exotic?

Antle was ZAA, from mid-2014 to early 2020. Wynnewood never was, Joe made up his own group that he was the only member of :D

:D All USDA inspections are surprise (in theory; inspectors often hit up multiple places in the same area).

There are some that are scheduled. This is especially the case for new facilities that are getting their first inspection, or those who had their certification lapse and are getting renewed. But yes, traditionally they are unaccounced.
