You can’t do things that are gonna jeopardize you. I had a flat rule and this may sound silly but I always believed it. That when I inter interviewed a keeper and if they said, “Oh, I love animals,” that always caused me to pay attention because there’s a difference between loving animals and wanting to work with them. Doesn’t mean you don’t love them but at some point in time, the brain has to take over where the heart’s trying to. And if it doesn’t, then it can lead to results that you don’t want. And I think in this case, that happened. I think there are other cases where that has happened, that even employees, they just don’t really realize what can happen and they don’t pay attention to it. It’s sad but it’s happened.
