Holtsville Ecology Site to close by next year
The Town of Brookhaven announced the gradual closing of the Holtsville Ecology Site Zoo & Animal Refuge on Monday.
The animals will be transferred to SPCA-approved and accredited rescue facilities between now and the end of the first quarter of 2026.
The town says the main reason for the change is the cost to taxpayers and not fitting with the town's priorities in serving residents.
