That is the most horrible, horrible thing that you can experience, is having someone killed like that young woman was. To this day, we don’t know what was in her head, what she was thinking or maybe she wasn’t thinking at all. But I said, “We can’t have this happen again. We gotta do something to ensure it doesn’t happen.” I had metal boxes made, about a foot wide and two feet high, and hung them at every gate going into where any of the wild, dangerous carnivores were. The boxes held signs. They were sheet metal, painted. One was white and said something like, “Exhibit empty”, then there was the one that was red, “People in exhibit”. There was one, red one, “Animals in exhibit” and the four signs were on one sheet of tin.
