(The trouble is, I know the problem, but I don't know the solution; war? plague? AIDS?
All a bit nasty.)

Back to the thread. And what do you do for a living?
That's a really disturbing statement.

Yes, I have been very lucky, in all my current jobs i havent applied or handed up a resume, I was just there when the needed me. So if you want to get into the pet industry find a good shop and be there everyday, even if its just for 10 minutes a day, and share with them your knowledge, I was hired at one place for my fish knowledge and the other my reptile.

You think??? Sadly, some people actually think that war, famine, AIDS etc. are positive issues.

Thankfully though, there are many of us who think in a far more humantarian style.

This is turning out to be an interesting thread to say the least!

As work I am a Sealion trainer at a theme park. We've got 4 Californian Sealions, all male, from 3years to 26 years old. Are there any other animal trainers out there on this forum?

Sorry folks; I didn't mean to upset anyone with that "war plague AIDS" stuff, a bit melodramatic I suppose; and I really am out of order introducing it on this thread.

It's just that patrick brought in politics early in the thread and so, being a bit of a stirrer, I thought I'd have my say.

Please don't think that I approve of drastic measures to solve the overpopulation problems of the earth; but anyone who says that there is no problem is in denial.
It worries me. I have children and grandchildren, and I want them to have at least as good a life as I have had.

Also, in my lifetime I have seen the wild places of the earth shrink. Thank heavens for sensible captive breeding, or we would lose all the larger animals very quickly.

actually Zoo_Boy brought up politics, i just took him up on the issue....

you could say the world is overpopulated, or you could say that we can actually have more people, so long as we develop more sustainable practices...

Just keep outta Aus... well they can stauy oin the cities... not meant to offend anyone... I just really really like my openess. The property that has my house on it is 500 metres from the nearest neighbour, and we're within the town limits.. just. So as long as people aint moving in on my quiet it's not too bad, just too densely populated in some areas I think

This is going a bit off topic but I agree that there are now to many people. Something has to give. If I remember the figures corectly in 1999 the world had 130 days food in reserve and now we have less than 39 days reserves and the population is still growing. One group is going to not get enough to survive and I believe ith will be the poor in Africa as they are the most reliant on aid. Food has been cheap for a long time but it is not going to continue.
