Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched
Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched: Life and Lessons at the World's Premier School for Exotic Animal Trainers | Amy Sutherland
3 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
A rare and absolutely enchanting look inside the Harvard of wild animal wranglers As is obvious to anyone who has read her most e-mailed New York Times article of 2006, ?What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage,? Amy Sutherland knows a thing or two about animals. In Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched, she takes readers behind the gates of Moorpark Community College, where students are taught such skills as how to train a hyena to pirouette and coax a tiger to open wide for a vet exam. As she follows the faculty, student body, and four- footed teaching aides at Moorpark?s Exotic Animal Training and Management program, Sutherland produces a true walk on the wild side, filled with wonder, comedy, occasional heartache, and transcendent beauty.

Another one off my tbr! This one caught my eye when @Soubhiville recommended it.
I really enjoyed thuis non fiction. It follows the lives of students enrolled in Moorepark's exotic animal training program.

CBee Such a gorgeous kitty! 😻 2y

Did you ever consider training dolphins, elephants, or tigers as a dream job? This book is a fun peak into one of the only schools in the world where you can get a degree for working with exotic animals.

I knew from a very young age I wanted to work with animals, but I stuck with dogs. Reading this was fun and gave me a look into a wilder side of animal care.

This was my #Doublespin from November, and now I‘ve completed every bs and ds of ‘21!

Soubhiville @Clwojick this is my first book for the #Pantone2022 challenge too, that middle band works for Super Sonic 😁💙 3y

#lastfirst @BookNAround

I would love to finish both The Seamstress and Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched before midnight tomorrow… not sure I can pull it off but we‘ll see.

The first book I plan to get into after these is Matrix.

Kappadeemom I have The Matrix on my TBR :) 3y
