I'm an old dog; I don't get too excited. I don't get caught up in all the mass hysteria.

You know what the problem that animal activists sometimes have? They only concentrate on the heartbreaking things to the point where the general public thinks, 'Oh, here comes those animal folks again and I'm going to hear all the things I don't want to hear.'

I'm learning that human pressure on wildlife is becoming increasingly dangerous. You've got to be more alert because more animals have been pushed around, wounded, subjected to human harassment, ambushed, all kinds of stress. When they attack, it's totally predictable.

Sometimes I can receive the world and regurgitate my version of events easily and sometimes it's hard.

So the animal finally performs in that situation only the fitting act.

Giant group events are distorting organisms: You can like and hate them in rapid succession.

Whenever you have an animal and bring another one into the house, it's a very traumatic event. It's a story as old as bringing home a second child from the hospital, when the first child kind of goes, 'Hey, aren't I enough?'

I'm a big animal fanatic.

Using animals for entertainment is big business, plain and simple.

Capture of a wild animal is invariably traumatic.
