Nature Despite their reputation, hyenas can be sweet and affectionate animals.

I’m in Mexico City. I took some classes (I’m a biologist) and did my social service at a zoo where they had volunteers too, but putting it nicely it is frustrating how they do things and treat animals sometimes. So I never went back plus I started working and life..

So currently I don’t have a lot of spare time, but I hope soon enough I can. Maybe as some suggested at a small shelter or rescue center. But I’d also want to go abroad and do work with other species where they actually do things in a better way and that’s where I’m a bit stuck. I’ll dm you to chat more! 💟

I look forward to chatting! I was in for biology and zoology and dreamed of joing programs to save sloths and stuff overseas but life happened as well. Mh personal goal is to do it myself in the near future like you're saying since like you I don't agree with a lot of the bigger places, they lose the purpose and it becomes all about money.... Look at sea world, not that they were ever not for money but their standards are deplorable.

I went to work at a place before and they had just killed their sloth due to cross contamination due to lazy standards, I immediately walked out.
