The Center was not accredited and had several problems.  


This is part of a question I was about to pose.  First who  makes the 
decision, in for example the cub that was euthanized, whether or  not it can be 
adopted or will be some kind of "belonging" to the  government.  Also in the 
Statement above who was the Center not  accredited by?  TAOS?  I hope not, since 
TAOS is not  governmentally sanctioned or created.  They got together and decided 
 their accreditation rules approved only by themselves.  What kind of  
credibility does that kind of process give any group?  Worse, if it  was TAOS they 
wanted them to be accredited by, this implies the government  is now giving 
support to self created groups with self created  accreditation.  I feel very 
strongly that any accreditation (I belong  to FCF for example) should only be a 
statement that I meet their  standards, not necessarily that their standards 
are the best for everyone  else.  Does anyone follow me here, I'm very tired and 
may not be  clear.  Your opinions please and if anyone does know the process 
for  abandoned wild babies which the cub sounded like, please let me  know.  I 
could have taken him with a moment's notice.
