The judge brought it up in conference calls and said, you realize that they have a valid import permit. They could bring these elephants in right now. And they said they realized that. And so a day or two after that conversation with the lawyer, we had a Sunday phone call for about two hours with our lawyer and weighed the risk evaluation that do we wait for this lawsuit and ask for a fast one ‘cos we’ve got elephants in the boma, we’re feeding them, or do we bring ’em in ‘cos we’ve got a valid permit. And we had made sure that the secrecy level of this was incredible. I had my assistant and a deputy director was the only person in our zoo that knew the time framings and what was going on. And we knew because the elephant community is so close knit.
