Handling of animals in my career changed tremendously. First of all, what we used to call the capture gun, the immobilizing guns that we use now made it so much easier to work with many animals to give them injections of any kind to immobilize them. When we used to have to put them through a lot when we had to capture them by hand or using backboards and lariats and all sorts of things to restrain them and now we don’t have that problem too much anymore. And thanks to people like Lee Simmons from the Omaha Zoo, in his research and development of better mobilizing rifles and pistols and blow guns.
