Along with her family, Sara Gruen lives with three cats, two dogs, two goats, and a horse, therefore it is no surprise that all three of her novels revolve around the relationship between humans and animals. Her first two novels, Riding Lessons and Flying Changes were both about horseback riding, and her current work in progress, Ape House will be about her love for the bonobo apes. In Water for Elephants, it is evident that Gruen’s love for animals was a heavy influence on the novel and on Jacob’s character as a veterinarian. She put much emphasis on the cruelty of the treatment of the animals in the circus, such as Rosie the elephant being fed a lit cigarette and being beaten severly by August, the circus’ animal trainer. During her research, Gruen was also given a chance to meet and interact with several elephants in captivity at the Kansas City Zoo, and at a circus.
Veterinarian I chose to write about being a veterinarian because I love pets and would definitely love to save the lives of animals. I am such a baby when it comes to seeing an animal hurt on the side of the road, or even when I see a stray animal. Veterinarians should have the ability to be able to calm animals and to really let the animal know that you care. Graduation from an accredited college of veterinary medicine and a State license are required. Competition for admission to veterinary school is keen; however, graduates should have very good job opportunities.
He conveyed that oral communication as well as written, are used mostly in teaching. Althoug! h they are used to explain, justify and clarify, thus being a vital part of the Animal Science discipline. Skaar did express that electronic communication was no less important than the rest, and it was becoming a bigger part in the industry. I agree with Dr. Skaar’s views on these areas of communication, and I feel that as technology evolves, a bigger emphasis will be placed upon

From then onwards I have always been keen to further my understanding of geography. I am currently studying Geography, Maths and Economics at A-Level and I feel these subjects provide me with an excellent stepping stone to study a course that has strands from each of these fields as they intertwine and compliment each other remarkably well. Studying Maths has enabled me to improve my analytical and problem solving skills, helping me to think independently and logically. Economics is exceptionally relevant in todays world and couples well with geography, this has enabled me to be synoptic in my writing and link the two topics together. Studying Geography has allowed me to gain a broad insight into both physical and human geography and the rich correlation between them.
Terrance Holley Mrs. Bailey English 1 18 February 2013 The Amazingly Suspicious Zoo Has the question ever been asked how much do zoo animals get paid? They probably do not make one red cent. It is a shame because they do a good job of keeping visitors entertained. The entire zoo experience is very amazing and at times suspicious. The interaction between the kids, the animals, and the landscaping makes coming to the zoo very exciting.
A sampling of other pet spas across the country: Sam and Danni's Pet Resort and Spa in Sauk Rapids, Minn.; The Animal Inn in Santa Barbara, Calif.; and the Berry Good Health Emporium and Day Spa in Katy, Texas. Health: Veterinary surgeons have started using fiber optics to perform arthroscopic joint surgery on cats and dogs, lessening the stress that surgery puts on pets. Veterinarians are excited about the evolution of the technique, which once was relegated to large animals. "It represents a huge advancement for joint surgery in small animals. The scope magnifies everything, it offers a good light source, and it is minimally invasive," explains Andrew Sams, a surgeon in Corte Madera, Calif. Books: In the faux memoir "I, Toto" (Stewart, Tabori and Chang, $19.95), a famous pooch picks up a pen to dish about "The Wizard of Oz".
The Orange County Zoo exhibits its animals in naturalistic habitats for the comfort of the animals, to encourage natural behaviors and to enhance the education of visitors. The Zoo's focus is on animals and plants native to the southwestern United States. Animals on exhibit include black bears, mountain lions, bald eagle, island foxes, ocelot, red-tailed hawk, great horned owls, porcupine, coyotes, turkey vultures, coati and more. This contributed to more reasons why I know enjoy going to the zoo. What I liked about the zoo a lot wasn’t just because the animals and Native plants, but the history and background knowledge.
Zoos are giving all endangered animals a chance in life by giving them shelter, food and treatments. A zoo gives scientists and vets a chance to research the weird and wonderful animals of the earth in their local zoos. Scientists use zoos to study common or rare diseases in different animals to find causes and cures; vets would attend to zoos to operate or attend to sick or extremely ill animals who have been rescued from the wild. Zoos are also great for tourism. Everybody loves a great trip to the zoo.
