I think one of the things that caused me concern was the lack of these facilities for isolating animals, for recuperation from disease. And well, I’ve chatted about that a little bit, but it can’t be stressed too much. And I think that speaking for one who experienced it, the need for us hospital was separate isolation facilities or for quarantine are crucial factors. And I think zoos need to face up to the fact that that has to be a line item on a budget and ought to be a high priority, as far as another exhibit or something else. There needs to be a hospital with some of those facilities being available. The zoo used to be a man’s world. The arrival of full-time veterinarians coincide with the increase of women in the veterinary medicine field.
