Making A Difference
Animal Scene|May 2017

At the recent Pet Summit, I met many interesting people, and what heartened me very much was a young mother who let her little daughter go up to the exotic creature booth, encouraging her to interact with the geckos and pythons and with an adorable bearded dragon.

Making A Difference

Other moms were drawing back in repulsion, telling their little boys to “stay away, that’s dirty/kadiri (disgusting)!” What terrible things to say in front of the people at a booth that was working hard to educate the public about exotic pets!

But this lovely mom, when I asked her permission to take a photo of her tot with the bearded dragon, told me that she wanted her daughter to meet as many animals as she could. Words failed me; I wish more parents were like this wonderful mother, with a truly open mind to all kinds of creatures and the kind of education no school can ever give!

I also met members of the MMDA K9 Search and Rescue Unit, and their first words to me were, “We’re always looking for volunteers.”
