The animal was caged
- A third of the cages were dismantled last year, and the Israeli courts ruled that remaining cages must be cleared away by mid-2008.
- Keepers were not particularly worried because his cage was secured with an elaborate "guillotine" door that opened vertically and was remotely controlled by pneumatic pressure.
- The cage looks like a dog kennel, but it's bolted onto the posts of a narrow hospital bed.
