I don’t think so. The zoological society pretty well handled that, and I think that should be their main role, is support fundraising. Moral support, whatever. And supplying funds that would be difficult to get from a municipal budget. Funds for travel, for instance, to Africa or whatever. So they did that. I didn’t feel any pressure to raise money. Sometimes veterinarians and curators or veterinarians and animal keepers, maybe at odds with one another about the collection, and how they perceive the best route to take in making sure the collection’s okay.
