Well, yeah, no, I think, there’s no question zoos have become much more professional at exhibiting animals. You know, our animal exhibits are a much more naturalistic, much more professional. Then, you know, then 40 or 50 years ago, when I first got into this business. From the, you know, from the standpoint, I think most zoos then were governmentally operated and governmentally supported. I mean, the, the biggest, you know, the biggest problems today is budgeting and financing. And because I think fewer and fewer cities are picking up the whole tab, you know, or governments are picking up the whole tab on the zoo. One of the things, and I think I’ve touched on this a little bit before, but one of the, you know, one of the things that I really think that somewhere, you know, whether it’s in an undergraduate school or graduate school or whatever, and whether for a veterinarian or a, a curator or director of whatever, budgeting and handling finances is probably the area where most places fall down and get in trouble, as opposed to, you know, some of the, some of the more technical professional side of things. The ideal world is a as a good animal person who also has the training or the innate ability to handle budgets and management, because he can learn that, he or she.
