In February 1997, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the City of Detroit, a licensed animal exhibitor doing business as Detroit Zoological Parks, agreed to a consent decision and order regarding violations of the Animal Welfare Act.

While City of Detroit officials neither admitted nor denied any violations of the AWA, they agreed to a civil penalty of $25,000.

Twenty thousand dollars of the fine is to be used for employee training, facility improvements and/or repairs. The remaining $5,000 is suspended provided the City of Detroit does not violate the AWA for one year.
