Keeping Wildlife Wild Latest Investigations website banner featuring binoculars, a field notebook, pen and folders labeled Investigation, Incident Report and Documented against a forest background. The banner introduces evidence-based reporting on incidents, issues and concerns affecting wildlife in captivity and in the wild, emphasizing documentation, transparency and accountability.

Investigation has always been at the heart of my advocacy—not to presume wrongdoing, but to follow the evidence wherever it leads. This section brings together current cases involving captive wildlife, zoos, exhibitors, exotic animal businesses and the agencies responsible for overseeing them. Through public records, inspection reports, regulatory documents, scientific evidence, news reporting and direct correspondence with authorities, these investigations look beyond headlines and institutional statements to ask deeper questions about animal welfare, public safety, conservation claims and accountability. Some inquiries may reveal serious concerns; others may provide important context or clarification. The objective remains the same: document the facts, ask the questions that deserve to be asked, and give the public the information necessary to draw informed conclusions of their own.
