It was an opportune moment, the circus coming to town. It didn't happen every year, but every year that it did, the school of veterinary sciences made sure that they got a chance to send their students in to deal with some of the more 'exotic' animals. Haley's Circus was good enough to cooperate, as much for the fine press it gave them as for the free medical care for their creatures.
