you right Ralf...
behavioral enrichment, de-sensibilisation and training's are important, whetter you like to work that closely with animals or not. first of all, the animals and their keepers seem to enjoy the interaction, and second - if you see this video first thing came to my mind was - wow - that guy is nuts! if it has that impression on me, can you imagine how impressive and out of space that must be for the normal folks? clearly a hight value for education and to raise awareness.
by the way, the link does not work ralf....
cheers
