               !    Petitioners lost many bird eggs and chicks after an               
                    employee brought her young child into the bird breeding           
                    facility.                                                         
               !    Wind storms caused eye problems for the Rocky Mountain            
                    goats, which affected their breeding.                             
               !    A drought in Kansas negatively affected the breeding of
