A lot of examples under Mayor Lionheart\'s character section, make reference to the fact that his primary reason for imprisoning the savage animals was to protect his own career. However, rewatching his conversation with the doctor isn\'t supporting this interpretation. As he enters the room he is expressing his frustration at the lack of progress in coming up with a reason why a \"dozen and half animals\" (not predators...animals) have gone \"off the rails crazy\". It\'s only then that the doctor brings up her \"time to consider biology because only predators are going savage\" theory.

This appears to be the first time Lionheart was presented with this information and, yes, he does fail to do the right thing by dismissing going public with it because it would impact his own career. But this does seem to indicate that prior to this conversation, his motivations were more along the lines of trying to protect the city from savage animals, find a cure, and keep knowledge that animals were going crazy for no reason from starting a panic. I\'d appreciate feedback on this, because if this interpretation is sound, many examples should be adjusted to downplay \"protecting his career\" as his primary motivation.
