Well, I think they have to, I mean, conservation and education and research are still the main purpose of zoos, but I don’t think they can forget the fact that entertainment has gotta be part of it, or the visitors aren’t gonna come. You know, people don’t come to the zoo because of the research that you’re doing. People don’t come to the zoo, again because of some of the conservation or educational things. They come to see the animals, to, it’s often a family outing with, you know, mothers with young children, or families with young kids, or teenagers on dates, or what have you. They’re coming as an entertainment venue more than anything. You had mentioned that people you knew sometimes would say, “Oh, St. Louis Zoo is great, but oh my gosh, we got to go over there and feed a gazelle and give it a bottle,” or whatever they said.
