As a zookeeper we deal with this all too often. It’s heartbreaking but the wild is becoming less safe for animals, sometimes I feel as though I am fighting a losing battle. This is why I have begun my blog to try and educate people on the plight of animals. Thankyou for sharing your story and helping us fight to keep the wild safe. I have followed you to see more :)
I can't imagine how much you've seen, as I see so much myself. Unfortunately it seems that in this "information age" where all of the information in the world can be available at your fingertips in just moments, people are actually more ignorant and uneducated than ever.
I couldn't agree with you more. The amount of people that I speak to that are shocked that they are looking after their animals wrong for example a person was happily discussing with me how she feeds her dog chocolate and that "well hes not dead so its obviously fine its a complete myth" I was dumbfounded and no matter what I told her she refused to accept how dangerous it is. Sadly we get a lot of members of the public offering their animals to us when they realised they can't fulfil their needs and just expect us to have the room, then if we take them we end up losing them after a short while because the help has come too late for them. Perhaps you and I and some others on here that I follow will make a difference to animals and their welfare through our posts- I can only hope.
