R A T T L I N G T H E C A G E When Oliver Graham-Jones first arrived at London Zoo in 1951, he came across

a number of difficulties. The zoo had changed little since it was built in 1823 and the keepers who looked after the animals were used to organising things their own way.

However, a new law changed all that in 1948 and only qualified vets were allowed to treat animals. The keepers, used to being in charge, disliked having a clever young boss with new ideas.

18

Today Mr Graham-Jones, now in his eighties, is against animals being in cages. Tn an ideal world, there wouldn't be places like London Zoo. We would have only safari parks as these are the best places to keep animals.'

15 19

He made such a fuss in the first year that many of the keepers refused to speak to him. He quarrelled with almost everybody and after a year the zoo management decided that his job would remain on a temporary contract.

16

On one occasion when Mr Graham-Jones ordered that the heating in the animal houses should be switched off, the keepers went on strike.

17

Despite all the arguing, the young vet was responsible for some major new improvements and most importantly for setting up the zoo's animal hospital.

'However, to be fair to London Zoo, the management has done the best possible and opened up the animals areas as much as they can. But people nowadays have cars.' The situation is clearly different from 1948.

20

Things have certainly changed. When Mr Graham-Jones first joined the zoo he actually lived in the zoo grounds.

21

Later on he moved to live off site and eventually in 1966 he left the zoo altogether and became a college lecturer.
