Yes they can. There’s hand cleaning stations at every contact zone. We have the australian bush, mini farm, ray aquariums, lamas and alpacas that are technically contact zones.

That’s not the probably part it’s mostly how the animals are treated and their winter enclosures, you know back stage you can’t see

any contacts with cocks?

Yeah. I love contact zones. They are the best.

And yeah, even if we are talking about the non-backstage part, Falardeau's model is pre-fenceless enclosures, decades behind.

Lafrenière not looking half bad out there.

Wonder if the same fools will still call him a bust.

Pretty sure a 1st overall forward having 57p as a career high at 22 is a bust. He's a good player and he's going to get better, but he is slow rolling right now. Seems more in the JVR as a 2nd overall than a Malkin as it were.

You usually get picked 1st because you are already developed.

One of the things I find hilarious is seeing the stories on instagram of employees just holding flamingoes or pelicans in the arms while moving enclosures.

that doesn't really make sense imho, players can have different learning curves, even if he was picked 1st he's only 22 and still very young, and now we're seeing his game translate to the NHL level, and in the playoffs when it really matters. I really don't get why you'd label him a bust.

My assistant's boyfriend used to be the director here, he's retired. But once he got a call that a flamingo got away and he was roaming around the grocery store at 5am. So he had to go pick it up with his pickup truck. And that point it was around 6am so he said (frank) it I'm going home having a coffee and breakfeast he can wait in the truck a couple of minutes before that day starts at 7.

For where he was picked. He's playing like a very good 2nd liner as a 22 year old. Which is great! But he's the 1st overall pick...which is bad. Even RNH who is the most milktoast 1st overall had more success earlier. It's not saying he's a true Yakupov bust (even though that braindead dude should have won the Calder weirdly enough), it's more that we've been spoiled with some ridiculous 1st overalls and the defensemen who take should take longer outscored Laf.

I fought people left/right/centre with Laf over Stutzle etc. Not sure I still would despite Stutzle being a diving pansy.

Sounds about right for what I've heard of those yeah

Good thing it was only a flamingo and not.... well, practically anything else, really.

yeah, I get what you're saying about first overall selections but I don't think the word "bust" applies in this case, and I fail to see how playing the way he is right now in the conference final at 22 years old can be "bad" in any way.

pointing with your fingers like that during a fight is so brutally violent, you're an animal.
