Well, I certainly agree with a couple of points that I think have been made through the years. Not every zoo needs an elephant. You don’t have to have an elephant to tell the elephant story. And if you’re gonna have elephants, certainly by what we know today and the standards that we’re able to provide, only institutions who can provide the best husbandry as we know it and satisfy as many of the behavioral characteristics or requirements for the animal, for elephants as possible. Only those institutions should have ’em. In other words, you better have a good program and you better have good facilities that meet what we’d like to have today before you have elephants. Just having an elephant in exhibit is not the answer. I think we’ve outgrown that, I really do and certainly the number of problems that have surfaced with elephants through the years probably is justification to really take a real hard look.
