PETA sent an undercover investigator to work at the Austin Aquarium for several months. The investigator allegedly gathered evidence of animal neglect and disregard for worker safety at the aquarium.
Aquarium is neglecting its animals and that guests of the business and staff have been bitten as a result of the neglect.
The investigator found the following information during his undercover employment, according to PETA: Video taken by the investigator reveals aquarium employees discussing being bitten by animals, and then lying to medical professionals about what type of animal they were bitten by to avoid having to report the bite to authorities. The staff members also said visitors get bitten often. One of the visitors that had been bitten was a seven-year-old.
Staff also told the investigator that the husband of the owner of the aquarium, Ammon Covino, deemed nearly 600 lizards "unnecessary" and they were released inside and outside of the building, according to PETA. Covino and his wife allegedly denied a blue iguana veterinary care because of the cost. PETA's investigator says the iguana, named Igor, had a suspected broken leg and needed medical attention. Staff members were recorded by the investigator discussing this.
