Hello,


I'm looking for information on how science museums approach their live
animal collections.  Specifically, I'm interested in if other museums have
formal animal policies in place.  We're in the process of developing a
Living Collection Policy (parallel to the one we have for our natural
science and cultural collections.)  I'd like to see some other examples to
compare with our own.  (AZA has guidelines but they are a bit beyond where
we are aiming.)  

Thanks in advance for sharing recommendations and examples!
