I’m talking about now in zoos– I understand, yeah. But even national parks. Well, there are some states now that are beginning to have wildlife corridors. They’re talking about, for example, a place that comes up from Central America and goes all the way up to Alaska called the Paseo… Read More
Paseo de something. It’s an open space. It’s linking through a corridor, wildlife habitat and open space. And they’re trying to make this part of the planning of the future. Florida is doing it. They have a wildlife corridor now. I had just had a friend do a film on,… Read More
You said that animals need space, open space. Read More
Are the open space as possible now in the US or around the world?… Read More
What happens when there’s no open space?… Read More
But can you blame somebody who’s never been able to touch an animal for not being interested?… Read More
So I think we have to be very careful how we control that, but I’ve seen people’s teenagers who didn’t give a digitally about wildlife. If they get to touch it, even a snake, they change. They said, they realized this is something that is interesting. That’s one way to… Read More
And we need to start talking much more to people about how great it is to get involved with the outdoors and the mystery and the adventure of it. Not be afraid of going camping, how to innovate, you know, there some survivors shows out there right now, but unfortunately… Read More

Yeah, I think what happens is is that, I’ve seen people change. I’ve seen people absolutely change their thinking. Some people think animals stink and are dangerous to them. A lot of people do. And they don’t want that dirty thing around my house or whatever. And sometimes teenagers are… Read More
Unfortunately, that’s being outlawed very rapidly by the USDA and by the AZA and other organizations. You don’t wanna touch something. Read More
So I said to him, well, what would you rather have?… Read More
Would you rather have that farmer who has put a fence around a big area, put deer in it?… Read More
Would you rather him open that up for housing developments?… Read More
That’s basically natural, but not sometimes in the way we’re doing it, or shooting an elephant with a cannon, for example, in my opinion, that’s not the right kind of… There are three kinds of hunters. They’re slob hunters, they’re hunters that get (indistinct) because they wanna get out in… Read More
But maybe we humans are evolving to a point where we don’t need to go out and live off the land. I don’t know yet. But anyway, that’s the one thing I was gonna say that the other thing is that, we’re in such a desperate situation to get people… Read More
Oh, can I make one more comment on the game parks?… Read More
I mean, on the private– Yeah, that’s fine. Ranches. Then we make that comment. I wanna make a comment about the justification of animals in private ranches. The head of the South Carolina Department of Wildlife came up to me once, I knew the guy pretty well. And he said… Read More
Yeah. But they are conserving so to speak with sustainable consumption, those species. Read More
Are they an asset?… Read More
