So it did take its toll, but I lived and breathed with the people and the animals. I felt like they were part of my responsibility to take good care of them and the best care possible. And so I fought in every way that we could take care of the animals and the people. Because regardless of who the boss was or regardless of which company, they needed our help because they depended upon it. It’s almost like, you know, if you wanna look at what’s going on around in the world today, there’s animals going away, there’s diminishing populations, a huge population of people, but yet, the human being is really the only life form that can make a difference for animals. They either can help animals or harm animals. The animals can’t change a thing. So I’ve looked at it and I always taught people, “You can change the animal’s environment, you can change their food, you can change their behavior, you need to help them live a robust life because you’re the one that’s caring for them.
