And this became, I can’t remember for sure, but I think pretty much almost a daily event that a certain time of the day was tee time at Lincoln Park Zoo. And the kids would get crackers, biscuits, goodies. And the idea was kind of at that time thought of as a positive, fun thing, because it was good therapy for the animals. They enjoyed it, and the keepers that worked with them enjoyed it, and the public came and watched and it was fun. But pretty soon we realized several things. One, that keeping these baby apes in a nursery operation and interacting with people, they became bonded to people. And once the chimp spent two to five years being part of this zoo family, they weren’t about to become a chimp again. And so pretty soon reality set in that this was wrong from a long-term animal behavior, and conservation items.
