... that the Sugar Puffs bear once escaped from Clinton Keeling's home zoo – an establishment described as being run with an "ambivalent approach to safety"?

"It was the home of ‘the Sugar Puffs Bear’, who [...] broke from his cage one year. He was recaptured after being spotted on the loose by a local farmhand."
"MDR14961 - Hill Top House, Ashover - Derbyshire Historic Environment Record". her.derbyshire.gov.uk. Derbyshire Historic Environment Record. Retrieved 4 October 2022.
"Looking back now, it amazes me how dangerous it was to visit our zoo in those days before health and safety was invented [...] My mother and father, Jill and Clinton, had an ambivalent approach to safety."

Not a review, just a suggestion. The hook compelled me to click on "Sugar Puffs bear" only to find out that the link isn't even about the bear. If the goal is to direct traffic to the Keeling article, I'd suggest eliminating the indirect link for "Sugar Puffs bear". Cbl62 (talk) 16:17, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
New enough, long enough, neutral, sourced, and copyvio free. MIDI, if you have access to Jeremy's book, page numbers would be nice to have. I think the hook is fine as is but am proposing/reformulating a couple ALTs below for consideration.
- ALT1: ... that the Sugar Puffs bear once escaped from Clinton Keeling's home zoo – an establishment described as being run with an "ambivalent approach to safety"?
- ALT2: ... that the Sugar Puffs bear once escaped from Clinton Keeling's home zoo?
ALT1 is the same as ALT0 but without linking "Sugar Puffs bear", per Cbl62, and ALT2 trims it down in case we want to go with something short and punchy. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
