The Save the ZOA website was created during Steve Goldberg’s election campaign against  Mort Klein for the presidency of the ZOA in 2014. During his campaign, Steve discovered Mort Klein’s corruption reached levels he had not even imagined. Several people stepped forward with accounts of gross mistreatment by Klein, from outright sexual harassment to bribery to steady lies about his compensation over the years. Since Steve lost in the sham election (which, as Save the ZOA covered, was rigged against any Klein opponent), Save the ZOA has remained a watchdog into the gross corruption and mismanagement of Klein, which has been overlooked and excused by his friends on the Board of Directors.
