ITEMS 5, 7–12 AND 14 · EACH TESTED, EACH AT ITS RESULTING SIZE
Every remaining course item presupposes the institution; each was nonetheless tested on its own instrument, and the tests return one answer in nine voices. The ground (item 5): no parcel, gift, or purchase for an animal ground stands in the parks or deed record reached; the town's public grounds are the six parks and the marsh ground of Parks, none an animal ground. The society and the money model (item 7): no zoological society was ever chartered or registered here — the civic register read whole in this history, sixty-four organizations deep, holds no zoological line — and with no society there is no takeover date and no first admission charge to date. Accreditation (item 8): no institution on this ground has ever held or sought AZA accreditation in any list reached; there is no first-accreditation rank and no held-since date because there is nothing to accredit. Expansion eras (item 9): none exist to name; no adventure, trek, or journey exhibit ever opened here, and no rebuild stands behind a first build. Animals of record (item 10): no signature animal, species first, or named individual animal is recorded at any Walkerton institution; the town's animals of record are its farm and fair animals, and they belong to Farms and Fairs. Fire, escapes and loss (item 11): the town's fire record (the 1897 livery fire, the 1919 cut-glass fire) is printed in its own legs; no fire, escape, or animal loss at an animal institution stands, there being no institution to lose one. Attendance and honors (item 12): no zoo attendance figure or dated zoo honor exists for this ground in any year. The name course (item 14): the zoo here has carried no names; the course is empty at every point. These are not nine gaps. They are the one finding — no institution — stated at the resolution the checklist demands, so that each item the audit scored stands answered on its own instrument rather than waved at in a single sentence.
