Is this a species we just need to leave in the wild and forget about it. But we have learned a lot and we’ve done a lot on the science side with elephants and this virus that they can contract is all been because they’ve been in managed populations. And we get our hands on ’em, we get blood samples from them reliably. But elephant safety, elephant keeper safety has increased dramatically as a result of operant conditioning. We’ve pulled a keeper out of the habitat, put ’em in a safe area. It’s not a hundred percent safe but it’s about 85% safe. And we’ve trained the keepers and spent a lot of money on training the keepers, which they in turn train the elephants. And the situation is very positive and good for the animals as well as for the keepers.
