And if I’d have just shut up and stuck to the scientific name, we’d have been all right. But foolishly, I said, well, I know some people call them Barbary sheep. Well, that was a dumb thing to do because they just had a big scabies scare in Canada with… Read More
And then we had to pull him out of the barrel, gripping with sheep dip, put him back in his crate, jump in the thing, because if we didn’t get to the border before they closed, then we’d have to spend the weekend in Buffalo. And so they, we got… Read More
I mean, at some, some difficulty getting them to ASPCA to clear them. This crazy Frenchman that had shipped them into the huts had put them in two by two, you know, tropical hardwood crates. They were two by two frames with storm screen, heavy storm screen over them, a… Read More
You know, it was kind of not too far out of the way, and we’re going to go through Buffalo, New York. So we picked up the aoudad at midnight in the parking lot of the Cleveland Zoo. Went on up. I’d never been to Buffalo. I’d never met Clayton. Read More
And I was doing pretty good until some Canadian border guy said, aoudad, I had scientific name. I don’t know what that is. Read More

So I treated a lot of circus animals, worked on, you know, the, the Clauser bears and Willie Kugler’s chimps and Kirby chimps, and even did some work with Gunther Gable Williams, a lot of his animals, but I also did a fair amount of work in transporting animals, both… Read More
Could you stop by and pick it up and bring it with you?… Read More
And I said, sure, why not?… Read More

And we, all we could do is get our teeth for a year. And yeah, this is a town that is say 150,000, 150 people in the whole town. You know, you put the whole zoo in this room and they skinned us alive. The guy also skinned the town… Read More
I got a call from Riverbanks that said, where is this Royal Zoo?… Read More

What was your relationship to the Royal Zoo?… Read More
What happened to the relationship?… Read More
(laughs) Well, the, you know, the, the Royal Zoo saga, I guess, or whatever you want to call it. We were always big believers in actually, if, if you might recall, I got up in front of, and kind of rather pointedly and loudly argued in favor of, you know,… Read More

I don’t have any other questions. Read More
Did you ask about the Royal Zoo?… Read More
