Seizure of animals from Ottawa Valley zoo renews calls for regulations on captive wildlife

Published Mar 9, 2025 at 5:00pm

Animals taken from a private zoo in the Ottawa Valley and the business’ subsequent closure have renewed calls from wildlife organizations for stricter laws regulating captive wildlife.

On Oct. 30, 2024, Animal Welfare Services (AWS) took hold of 10 exotic animals it claimed to be in distress and removed the animals from Waddles ’n’ Wags zoo in Eganville, Ont.
