And a lot of people hadn’t done that. So that was part of our study, Dave Wilton, I said, well if we’re gonna freeze it, we’re gonna thaw some of it out to make sure that we’ve frozen it in the right way, you know, the right temperature, the right extenders, you know, and thawed it out at the right temperature, things, and that was really an important aspect of really starting to see, you may have a frozen zoo, because many people just freeze it and say, “Well, look here at our liquid nitrogen tank”, you know, and we’ve got a frozen zoo, which to me is not viable. And then, you know, we’ve had some success with artificial insemination, and I think it has its place, but it’s not the panacea. We have to save the animal’s habitat, because if we can save all these animals, and we don’t have a habitat to put ’em back into, we’re just gonna have bigger zoos, and so it has to be at least a dual approach to the problem. And then there’s embryo transfer, and then there’s people that are talking about cloning and things like that, I don’t think I’m ready to get back up on cloning, but I just have to kind of look at where technology is gone that, I remember reading Dick Tracy in the comic book, where he had a wrist watch that had a TV in it, and now we’re all carrying cell phones, that are basically about the same, which we thought would never happen, and cloning may come, but again, it’s not gonna be the savior of conservation, unless we save a place to put these animals, and get a little bit smarter on how to manage ’em, and take care of ’em.
