NZKW 2021

We now find ourselves halfway through 2021's National Zookeeper Week.  The last year has been an extremely challenging one for zookeepers and aquarists, with facility closures, staff cuts, crazy scheduling, and the persisting fear of our animals (or ourselves) getting COVID-19.  Hence this year's graphic, produced by the American Association of Zookeepers, below.

It's nice to get a little recognition, and maybe a few treats in the breakroom.  It's even nicer to be at a facility where you are valued, your passion for animals isn't exploited, and you're given the salary, benefits, and opportunities for growth that you need.
