We're just trying to understand the facts. 76 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,836 This is where Ganesha was held when she wasn't in her habitat. 77 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,435 - Who has keys to this lock? - Only myself and Mr Meecham. 78 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,479 Otherwise, this is a restricted area. 79 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,270 Elephants aren't good jumpers, if that's what you're thinking. 80 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,592 No. I was wondering why such a small pen for such a large animal. 81 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,071 The zoo was built in the 1940s. The pens and habitats are all too confining. 82 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,676 I was brought on to expand and create more humane environments. 83 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,149 Unfortunately, these things take time. 84 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,188 - Those, uh... chains on the ground there? - Those are tie-downs. 85 00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:44,633 They restrict the animal's movement. I disallowed their use when I came here. 86 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,917 - Disallowed their use by whom? - It was Ed Meecham's practice. 87 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,879 It reflected an old, non-progressive zoo policy. 88 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,031 How's your relationship with Ed Meecham? 89 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,351 I'm his boss and a woman.

We're keeping track of what goes on. 122 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,949 Willa Ambrose claims she's put a stop to most of his old practices. 123 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,996 Whatever her intentions, 124 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,878 she's too preoccupied to know how Meecham operates. 125 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,076 Preoccupied with what? 126 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,314 A lawsuit she's fighting against the Malawi government over a gorilla named Sophie. 127 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,554 Willa rescued her from an African customs house ten years ago.
