I was glad they were told not to spend any more on new things and instead concentrate on fixing their problems.

+1 on both of those...

I think that they may have jumped in head first with the ray exhibit, first because it seems like they didn't do their (animal husbandry) homework, and second because it was a 'hands on' exhibit. With the public having access to something so delicate, something would have happened sooner or later anyhow.

Remember how the Crocodile Hunter died? "Hands on" sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen..

But I agree with Tony.. probably for the best.
