Animals Respond to Proper Handling
; By EUGENE BURNS
: COPENHAGEN, with SAS
'Cuite naturally, one of the first
tilings I did here was to visit the
zoo a 30-cent taxi ride from the
'heart of Uie city, in company wilh
:two directors. I saw a splendid
collection of animals particularly
the birds, and not to be forgotten
two musk oxen, as far as I know,
.the only two in captivity.
- Like many of the other animals
,jn the zoo, they were gentle and
I had the pleasure of walking into
the enclosure and patting them.
Patting musk oxen!
' During our lunch at the zoo
restaurant, within the grounds, I
complimented Svend Andersen
and Dr. Holgar Poulsen upon the
fine appearance of their animals,
telling them I had seen none bet
ter in any zoo, however spacious.
Considering the old, restricted
quarters, this is no mean feat to
bring off. They in turn told me
how they kept their animals look
ing so alert and healthy, some
thing I am sure any person with
a pet will want to know.
Over our first course of smoked
salmon, I asked: "How are you
able to be on
lis ,
of behavior. They are rather punc
tilious because they have a time
sense, a promptness hard to ex
plain. And, of course, our men
feed them on time, each day.
That is important because it gives
them a sense of security and well
being, trite as these phrases may
sound, and with it, a regular
schedule aids their digestion."
"Bui a good share must be due
to the kind of food?" I put in.
"Your diet must be exceptionally
good."
"Yes, we think so," said Dr.
Poulsen, "we plan a diet that is
healthy or should I say that will
not harm them. And, if we can,
we try to counteract some of the
such good terms I terrible things good meaning peo-
comes to the natural food in their
own habitat, the better. You no
ticed the deer, didn't you?" asked
Dr. Poulsen. "They love to eat
tips and shoots of birch trees."
"What would you say would be
the best diet for home-grown
pets?"
"Again, it should approximate
as closely as possible the natural
foods the animals would eat nor
mally. "For example, a friend of mine,
when he goes into the woods al
ways takes with him a shopping
bag and brings back berries,
acorns, pine cones, staghorn lich
ens whatever is natural and han
dy. But as for me, I like to carry
apples, raisins, peanuts, carrots
and flower seeds for the ani-
my animals to reassure them and c
I talk sense because I think it
gets the best response. I am not
suggesting," he hastened to ex
plain, "that animals understand
words. They don't. But from the
words, 1 think they can deter
mine the tone, and the tone if
it is within the particular ani
mal's range of hearing is com
prehensible." "I noticed that you moved
slowly."
"Yes," said Andersen, "move
ments around animals should al
ways be slow and relaxed. You 11
notice I stroll I don't stride. 1
also try to avoid moving my:i
hands quickly. Tor example, if I
were to slap a mosquito, mat
would alarm them. If I'd brush
mals. Each of these is good, in ; the dust off m trousers, like
with your animals?? Kor exam
pie, walking inside Ihe enclosure
with the musk oxen?"
"Oh, that's easy," said Ander
sen. "You see, I make it a point
to come to see them just as oflen
as I can. Every day if possible.
And on schedule. You sec, ani
mals have very definite patterns
pie insist upon feeding animals
You see, confined animals are
worse than children, much worse:
they cat far too much and much
of the food is definitely bad for
them.
"What is the best food?"
"Naturally, that varies with the
species. But the closer the food
moderation, for the right ani
mal."
"You mentioned harmful foods,"
I said, directing the question at
Dr. Paulsen.
"Yes, there are many. But they
vary with each animal. But real
ly, most processed food is bad,
including candy, chocolate cook
ies and bread. In a wild stomach,
they simply don't seem to digest
properly. And no uncooked food.
That swells in their stomachs
and may cause death."
"While walking among your
animals, I noticed that you kept
up a steady flow of conversation
and no nonsense mixed with
it," I told Andersen.
"Yes, I talk a great deal with
this, particularly with small ani
mals, or even with big ones, the
fast motion would alarm them."
"Then, basically, there
technique in handling pets which
helps keep animals healthy, be
sides proper diet, cleanliness . . ."
"No, I don't just mean a glib
technique," replied Dr. Paulsen.
"I mean, some people have an
inborn kindness with animab. I
think it lies within oneself: you.
yourself, must have a certain feel- g
ing aDoui aminais. iu a mwc
tent perhaps it can be cultivated.
But the main thing is to give the
animal a feeling of sureness, of
safety. And I think our animals
reflect that . . ."
