S.D. Codified Laws § 6-13-16
Any municipality or other political subdivision of the state that operates a zoo may enter into an agreement for the loaning of zoo animals with another political subdivision, nonprofit corporation, or other entity that operates a zoo accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums or other appropriate institutions dealing with animal care, breeding, welfare, or wildlife education. The zoo that accepts the loaned zoo animals may be located inside or outside the State of South Dakota. The loan agreement shall be under terms and conditions agreed to by the parties to the agreement. Zoo animals loaned pursuant to this section are not deemed to be surplus property, and no motion is required to enter into an agreement for the loaning of zoo animals.
