The information requested was incomplete. This is due to the fact that the Otorohanga Zoological Society appears to have failed to meet the requirements of the permit to hold protected species- and has not yet submitted the annual report for 2013. It is not yet known whether DOC will follow this up. The conditions of the permit require an annual report to be filed by 31 July of each year.
