"We might, but cattle and goats are more acceptable." People draw the line between 'food' and 'pets' in such nonsensical places.

Seeing adults refuse to learn it baffles him.
The offer gets a look of surprise. There's hesitation as he bites his tongue from making a comment that he's not sure how she could help. She's full of surprises, after all. He certainly couldn't guess her full capabilities if he tried, so he'd better not make a fool of himself attempting to.
"I'd like visitors to have unobtrusive viewing areas. Places they could view the animals without drawing attention or causing the animals distress. I already have my eye on a few potential spots," he tells her, trying not to sound as excited as he is about his side project. "I'd really like to make the paddocks larger and more varied, and to guarantee each species has its own area when they need to spend time away from humans or other animals. We do that in zoos already."
With a nod towards Regina he continues, "And I'd like to give some of the animals more engaging ways of getting their food. If they aren't engaged they get frustrated and difficult. The smaller carnivores would be the easiest. Maybe something like wood logs with food hidden in little holes for them to play with. Dinosaur toys, essentially."
