Interview for essay # 4
Laura Darrow
English 101

In my interview I decided to use my friend Darcy Holland. She works at the Heritage Park Zoological Sanctuary. I decided to use her for my interview because she works with animals. Not just the animals we see in our back yard but endangered animals and animals that can no longer go into the wild. In my essay I want to explain that all animals have a heart and deserve to be treated right. Yes some animals are for eating and that helps us survive. Not all animals are meant for eating, people who are greedy and think hunting and killing animals are just for fun, but no its not. If you think about it if we kill one animal off then somewhere along the line another animal is going to die off for no apparent reason. I choose Darcy because she has some point of view and shares the same kind of love I do for the animals.
In the beginning of the interview I asked Darcy what she did at the zoo. She told me she was a volunteer and did the basics such as cleaning cages, feeding animals, preparing the food and cleaning dishes. I asked her what type of animals are in the zoo are they more endangered animals or common animals. She responded that both types of animals are there abut more common than others. Then I asked her if she thought that animals today are being out into more danger than they were back in the day. She replied yes and told that in today’s world people only hunt for fun and not for survival. She also stated that people should get more educated about animals and how they are almost human just like us. Then I asked her what the word sanctuary meant animal wise because I think that’s what the zoo was more about. Helping animals and getting their population on the rise again. She responded where an animal who has been abandon, abused, hurt, or who cannot be introduced back into the wild can go. She was very strong about this. The last question I asked her was what she wanted to be when she got out of school. She told me she wanted to be a zoologist/Wildlife biologist and a veterinarian technician. She told me it helps with studying animals, caring for animals, and it also educates people. She also said she wants to learn the diets of every animal and habitats. She is learning a lot about animals just from doing little things at her job.
This is my interview with Darcy Holland and some of the things she said will be used in my essay number four. I like some of the things she pointed out and how some of the things are on the internet but to have someone say it took a lot of guts to do. And yes I was told it was ok to use her name in the interview.
