Frankfurt Zoological Society acquires money for conservation, never, ever for zoo. And the city, neither I think they hardly would know how to acquire money. Sorry to say this. So it was my task. And in Europe it’s well known that the zoo director is the biggest beggar to get enough money to do the zoo. It’s probably the most important task of a zoo director. Unfortunately, he can no longer look after the animals too long. But I always insisted to do an inspection around every day, every morning for at least one, one and a half hour, not to lose the contact.
