The zoo had changed little since it was built in 1823 and the keepers wholooked after the animals were used to organising things their own way.oHowever, a new law changed all that in 1948 and onlyqualified vets were allowed to treat animals. Thekeepers, used to being in charge, disliked having a cleveryoung boss with new ideas.Today Mr Graham-Jones, now in his eighties, is againstanimals being in cages. 'In an ideal world, there wouldn'tbe places like London Zoo. We would have only safariparks as these are the best places to keep animals.'l$,He made such a fuss in the first year that many of thekeepers refused to speak to him. He quarrelled withalmost everybody and after a year the zoo managementdecided that his job would remain on a temporarycontract.!$On one occasion when Mr Graham-Jones ordered thatthe heating in the animal houses should be switched off,the keepers went on strike.Despite all the arguing, the young vet was responsiblefor some major new improvements and mostimportantly for setting up the zoo's animal hospital.'However, to be fair to London Zoo, the managementhas done the best possible and opened up the animalsareas as much as they can. But people nowadays havecars.'The situation is clearly different from 1948.Things have certainly changed. When Mr Graham-Jonesfirst joined the zoo he actually lived in the zoo grounds.nLater on he moved to live off site and eventually in 1966he left the zoo altogether and became a college lecturer.E TEST 2, PAPER 1
