We did animal escape drills on a regular basis. And it was always fun ’cause the keeper from the hospital or one of the keepers was designated as the escapee. I remember once I used it, I’d been trying to get something fixed in the Lion House for forever. And so, you know, we had rifle training and there were rifles at the hospital. There’s rifles in the gun cabinets at bears, behind polar bears and one in the Lion House. And so I worked with the keepers in the feline building to set up a scenario. I was the designated one where I’m out in the outdoor lion area and the malfunction that I had been trying to get fixed happened and I got killed because they couldn’t get to the guns ’cause they were behind the locked door that they couldn’t open, because that was open there. Got fixed the next day.
