u may know them but u duno them all. i voulunteer there. i found out a lot of things that people outside dunno & dun choose to care any less to know. there's a few very passionate people in there. well to work in the zoo it self is already a good start. it has came to my knowledge that there are alot of animals that they are not farmiliar with. unlike other zoos world wide, there's no such things as animal training or what so ever. in the zoo, mayb the top ppl is bz makin money that they do not take the trouble to care bout their own charge. this job is usually up to the seller or the zoo keeper to find out for them self. like i said there's no training provided in the local zoos. where does the keepers learn? from those wednesday classes conducted by the zoo? those classes i attended is more like a history lesson bout the zoo(i went to the class bout elephants & primates) how the zoo changed etc etc. it is then up to the sellers to actually teach them. they continue to remain "STUPID & NOT-GOOD-ANIMAL-KEEPERS"because people do not teach them. since when does a big company actually go to the zoo to teach the peeps there? well...recently there is lar...dr. brandy barr was there. if u think bout it properly, can a bunch of zoo keepers hog a computer a few hours a day google-ing bout a new animal that they got, looking for care sheets? it has also come to my knowledge that some information supplied by certain suppliers tends to be misleading.( this i dunno, a contact in the zoo told me)

please. the zoo has already a very bad reputation. it does not need help to get any worst then it is now.

its not even bout the civet cats anymore. as fas as i'm concerned. u have quite a good reputation too. also, i noticed that u talk in in convoluted sentences. state ur point clearly please. i might miss read it again.

anyways. back to the zoo... u dun seem to read properly what i said & ment. perhaps i should type in double spacing new times roman font pt. 16? i have a feeling that SeGi Exibition thread is coming up again. better keep my guns.

i said the zoo is like that because its staffs are un-educated. i think that they do put in an effort. but then when there's no one there to offer advise or help them they aint gonna make it. i do not say that they are good keepers. i only say there's a few passionate keepers. that's all...perhaps i would bold it.

yeaps. ur perfectly right. get a few days off & voulenteer & the zoo. go to the classes & see what type of education they get.

yes. true on that word. passionate is diffrent. but like i said. they lack resorce. remember that time is also a resorce. who would not wanna be good in something? they can be cleaning elephant shit for the rest of their life i dun care. but some of them actually take the effort to make a trip to thailand & learn from those people there. imagine. how much does a un educated/qualified zoo keeper earn to do that?

thats a point to ponder. sorry lar i a bit harsh there just now. no hard feelings yeah hans...its a forum.
