Scott Lope is an amazing person. He risks his very own life to help innocent animals in need of help. His good deeds will bring him far and he definitely deserves a lot of praise. When I had come across him, I knew right away that I wanted to be just like him because of the way he had been saving animals. By him saving animals that was the number one thing that caught my attention and drew me towards him. He is doing something very good and something will shine upon him for doing the stuff he does. I want to work with animals so this gives me an idea of what I should do when I am older.

Scott Lope is an animal advocator, which means he speaks up for animals who can not talk. If you wanted to become a person like him and do something like his job then you would want to major in Animal Science. Also you have to have a doctorate degree, a bachelor degree and a PhD. Also you have to have training that associates you with taking care of the animal and make sure how it needs to be cured or treated. The salary would be around $60,000 to $90,000 and up depending on what you do and how good of a job you do. If you want to be a veterinarian, they make around $90,000 and up depending on how good you do, a year. Veterinarians, zoologists, and animal spokespeople are similar jobs. Recent developments are animal cruelty; people are trying to stop others from abusing animals.

Studying different animal behaviors and environments are very helpful. Also doing classes at schools like animal health care are very helpful for taking care of animals. Having animals at your home also can help you figure out how the body works and moves. There are special schools that are associated with animals are University of Washington and UC Davis. If you have successes in your career you will make more money than the usual do.

By being an animal advocate, it can really help out the animals by not having them be on the streets and having people adopt them and treat them nicely. There are many animal organizations where you can adopt animals. Also if you do not want an animal anymore look up an organization that specializes in that animal near you instead of kicking it onto the street or bringing them to a shelter because in a shelter they euthanize the animals who have been there a long time. By saving animals something will happen back that is good to you and you will feel good about yourself.

By taking certain classes, it can help you get into animal jobs. Like doing anatomy, biology, animal health care classes and other classes can really help you. By going to UC Davis, this school specializes in veterinarian specialties. Also training with animals like helping out at a shelter or a vet. Also you want to get a bachelors degree, a doctorate degree or even a PhD. You have to have a lot of time for animals. If I go towards this direction it can help me get into what I will like. Also Scott Lope’s job and doings have inspired me a lot because he takes his life to protect and save these helpless animals, who cannot speak up for themselves.
