Animal Helper

As far back as I can remember, I have cared for animals. From the age of six, I had a pet dog, a cat, and even a goldfish. On my eighth birthday, my father took me to a huge pet shop and told me I could choose whatever I wanted. As I gazed into the glass tanks, I spotted a magnificent iguana, [1]. My father knew from the excited expression on my face that I had made my decision.

Fresh out of university, I was lucky enough to gain employment at the famous West Midlands Safari Park. It was my dream job and I was incredibly excited, [4]. I’d worked with small, exotic animals, but I had never been in actual contact with any of the larger ones before.

My pet iguana, or ‘Jimmy’ as he quickly came to be known, was a real inspiration to me. As I watched him wander around his cage, I began to wonder about what weird and wonderful creatures there might be out there [2]. I began to read everything I could lay my hands on about animals.

On my first day, I came face to face with two fully-grown African elephants and three adult tigers. My task was a small but important one – I was to help the keeper who was in charge of feeding them. Feeding such magnificent beasts is something you are unlikely to ever forget. It is a truly humbling experience, [5].

During my teens, my interest in animals grew and I started to become concerned about animal welfare and protection. The more I read about the many endangered species in the world, the more I felt that I had a duty to protect them. When I was 18, I went to university to study zoology. Obtaining my degree wasn’t at all like work for me [3]. While at university, I also gained valuable experience volunteering at a zoo. By the time graduation day came, I had learned enough, and gained enough first-hand experience, to know that I wanted to be a park ranger.

Safari Parks are a a wonderful environment for captive animals because the animals are not penned in but are instead allowed to roam free. People make the mistake of thinking that the animals are in cages, but the aim is for their lives to be as close as possible to the lives they would have lived naturally [6].

Sadly, there are people who like to hunt some of these creatures. As a ranger, part of my job is to educate the public about animals. I believe that education is the best weapon in the fight to save these animals and other threatened wildlife.

В подростковом возрасте мой интерес к животным вырос, и я начал беспокоиться о благополучии и защите животных. Чем больше я читал о многих исчезающих видах в мире, тем больше я чувствовал, что у меня есть долг защищать их. Когда мне было 18, я поступил в университет изучать зоологию. Получение моей степени совсем не казалось работой для меня, потому что предмет был так увлекателен. Во время учебы в университете я также получил ценный опыт, работая волонтером в зоопарке. К моменту окончания университета я узнал достаточно и получил достаточно практического опыта, чтобы понять, что хочу быть рейнджером парка.

Сафари-парки — это прекрасная среда для животных в неволе, потому что животные не заперты, а вместо этого им разрешено свободно бродить. Люди ошибочно полагают, что животные находятся в клетках, но цель состоит в том, чтобы их жизнь была максимально приближена к жизни, которую они вели бы естественным образом в дикой природе.

Sadly, there are people who like to hunt some of these creatures. As a ranger, part of my job is to educate the public about animals. I believe that education is the best weapon in the fight to save these animals and other threatened wildlife.

К сожалению, есть люди, которым нравится охотиться на некоторых из этих существ. Как рейнджер, часть моей работы состоит в том, чтобы просвещать общественность о животных. Я считаю, что образование — лучшее оружие в борьбе за спасение этих животных и другой находящейся под угрозой дикой природы.
