Interview 26791 – Caption Index: 338

There’s something wrong in the exhibit. There’s something missing. And we weren’t barning those animals at night, which we probably should have. So one of the results was to redo the exhibit, create a barn and do all that. It wasn’t in the cards. So, you know, as I told… Read More

Interview 26791 – Caption Index: 339

Tough part’s when I gotta tell you one of these stories. And I told ’em, we’re gonna eliminate the species from the collection because we don’t have the proper facilities and there’s nothing in the cards that will say that we are gonna have this in the foreseeable future. Read More

Interview 26791 – Caption Index: 332

We can sit here and hold our breath, but tomorrow morning those animals wake up in a substandard environment. You know, they don’t have two years to wait for the money to make that better. So sometimes you’ve gotta make some tough decisions. And it’s been an interesting dialogue with… Read More
