why why why

Honest question.... What is it with the mentality that people have with taking pets to the zoo? Dogs and even kittens in pushchairs just out for a stroll down the nearby zoo. What's the weirdest thing you've seen people bring the zoo? (Kids don't count)

Why is it soooo hard to get into the industry. Any tips pls. Having no luck with work placement, (I can't even give up my time). I'm so passionate about this but no one will give me a chance. I'm such a great student/worker but I keep getting knocked back. I will never give up, I want it to be...
