When I moved TO California, i had a similar botanical gardens and
zoo, and everything was legal and kosher. eventually an ag inspector
showed up and really, it was no big deal. the man who showed up later
to inspect our kennel panels, chain link, which had been outdoors in
boston was much more thorough and concerned in his search for hidden
lethal organisms on the fencing.
