This time i talk about what i want to work with...
In the beginnin of the career, i liked the small animals, and that was what I wanted, but now I'm finishing my first year at the Uni and i really feel a fascination with cows. They are so tender (even it hasn't any expression :P). So that's in what I want to work, maybe in dairy, or just cattle. Obviously i would have to go to work to the south, but it's okay, I love the south, away from the stress of the city. Respect to the hours, i don't care working long hours, i just want to do well my job. And about the boss i also don't mind having a boss, what matters is that i have a good relationship whit he or she, that's all.
On the other hand, i know that many veterinary students are against to production animals work , because they associate it immediately to slaughter animals, almost cold-blooded and say they could never work on that. But i have another vision, animal production, milk, meat is necessary for the population, it is necessary to provide of good animal protein, quality to people, and that is what i want to contribute like a veterinarian, moreover of the animal welfare and health of course.
I will try to do my best about this.
Total thanks :)
Well, today i'm going to write about a person that i admire a lot.
He is Ignacio Idalsoaga, the Buin Zoo's owner. He's born in 1956 (54 years old).
He graduated in Veterinary Medicine from University of Chile in 1980.
His history begins 20 years ago, when he with his wife, begins to give shelter to many damage animals in a plot in Buin, he never thought that this adventure will become in the most exciting and gratifying action in his entire life.
In the first place he wanted to devote to the swines breeding, but he ended building the most important, biggest and cutest Private Zoo in the country.
In his role as manager, he brought differents kinds of animals from around the world, including wild animals, like african lions, giraffe, and elephant. And also native species, like condor, foxes and guanacos.
His objective in the Zoo is do his best contribution between the nature and the human in a harmonious coexistence.
I really admire him, because he shows everything about what a Vet should do; team work, rescue and protection of animals, educate people, strengthen the family bond, including to the animals. :)
Hi again.
My grandparents live in the country in the 9th region of Chile, they have many animals and when i went there with my parents every summer, i love helping to my grandma in the care of all the animals in the "farm", i don't know, just watch them. And i always do that since i have memory, maybe that's boring to many people, but to me it's special, not only sharing with the animals but the nature and earth too. That's cool ! :)
Maybe that was my first inspiration to study Veterinary Medicine. And also think, that another fact was when i was a teenager i had a puppy, it was all for me...and it died, murderer by a really bad person in a car :(. And i couln't do anything for my sweet puppy...
And then i grew up with that sad feeling. I'll want to be the best Vet in Chile, and study in the best University of Chile, and i'm here, "enjoy it" the University life, and waiting the moment to save lives, to help animals. It's hard,it's difficult, but in depite of that i'm happy to study, to do my family happy, they are so proud of me, i don' want to disappoint them, they are my life. I will do the best !!! yes of course.
That's all guys, thanks :)
