That’s an interesting concept for animals and captivity, for feeding them and things like that. Okay, thank you on that, I think that’ll be that, I think we got enough of that. But I like to, if you’re still rolling, I like to had one more word. Go ahead, and that is, that you never should work with an elephant without somebody else being there, that was the mistake that chap made in Omaha, he got there early in the morning, and he worked that elephant before the other keepers got in, and this was against the rules, but he did it, and the rules are there for a purpose, and the zoo director does have some sense and they have some experience, and if there is a rule made like that, it’s for a very important reason, and I just feel that it’s important that you as a keeper would always pay attention to the rules themselves because you break a rule, it’s your fault, and if you follow the rules and do the thing, the regulations that are laid down, then you’re on a much safer side, not only because you’re following orders, but for your own safety, because elephants can be enormously dangerous, and if they ever maneuver you as they’re clever as they can be to maneuver you into a tight situation just next to a wall, or in a corner or something, you may never cut out of that corner, or they never be a grease spot on the floor after having having an elephant rub you up next to a wall, so, sure there are dangerous, there are a lot of animals that are dangerous. When I was first introduced at the St Louis Zoo, I was on the laboring gang, mowing grass and digging ditches and clipping hedges and things like this, and then one day the director came by, and says, I have a job for you to do up in the north, in the east end, so he took me up there and introduced me to an animal keeper named Floyd Smith, and so Floyd is going to put you into one of the yards here because he has a job that you must do, and here I am, 21 years old, my first job in a zoo, and the first chance to work with a zoo animal, and the animals were Rocky mountain, goats, and my job was to go in the yard, while Floyd would start me there, then he would go in a journey yard for the big horn sheep, and I was to rake the yard, but look out for the goats, and as he introduced me to this, he said to me, now kid, he says, I want to impress on you, the importance of being careful, he said, all animals are dangerous, and even a mouse can bite you, so it was that kind of an approach that got me, my first start in the zoo animal field and Floyd was right, Floyd eventually became the trainer of the elephants and had the first elephant show for the St. Louis Zoo, and was there throughout the time until he retired, unfortunately, Floyd is no longer living, but at least he wasn’t killed by an elephant. Okay.
