Allen Bloom, Senior Vice Pres. of RBBB during the Irvin Feld years, once asked me; " John what does that word liberty mean?" I replied," It means that the liberty animals perform free without any ropes attached. He replied," We must have the greatest liberty acts in the world cause ours run all over the god damned place free as hell." What a crackmade in jest and he did not refer to me, but I do hear that Zebras on Ringling over the past few years have freqently exercised that option of all over the place and am sure I could not do any better than those trainers with the wide open conditions around the ring. I have trained a few zebras over the years [never a complete act] and knowing the animals I have never had any desire to do just that.

I see that Josip Marcan's tours of Europe and his incredible breeding program are showing up with fantastic results where ever his animals are seen.
