We had an animal that was, I think, gonna go from Cleveland, I can’t remember if it was a male or female, to the Bronx Zoo in New York. And the newspapers got hold of the story and they decided to play it up, and pretty soon, next thing I knew there was a suit filed in federal court saying you can’t move this animal. And that was a real shocker because if such a thing were to hold up, then it would mean that our ability to manage this collection properly on a national and eventually international level wouldn’t work. And by sheer good luck, we ran into some federal judges that ended up ruling on it. And they ended up in our favor, that, yes, indeed, we could move X animal from Cleveland to the Bronx. And that created a very from then on, workable healthy atmosphere for dealing with our gorilla SSP. And at the end of my 10-year tenure, I was happy to pass it along because it was both exciting, and frustrating, and worrisome, but it worked and it’s, of course, been nothing but good ever since.
