Ruth's Records

Here are Buttonwood Park Zoo records received under the Massachusetts Public Records Act MGL 66.

 

The zoo keeps "specimen" records which contain behavioral, medical and daily observations.  Emily's records are included as they show when she was aggressive towards Ruth. A list of dates that the keepers reported aggression by Emily against Ruth are below.

 

The documents are searchable, however, Ruth's hoof records and some laboratory results may have limited search capacity.
