WE ARE NOT ZOMBIES presenta
CHINGONAS con YVETTE KEMP
Desde que era niña, Yvette Kemp supo que quería trabajar con animales. Vive en San Diego, California, y trabaja en el zoológico local como cuidadora de mamíferos. Su trabajo consiste en atender cualquiera de sus necesidades, desde la limpieza, la alimentación, hasta la asistencia en tratamientos médicos.
Yvette hace un llamado a reconectar con la naturaleza y marcar una diferencia al cuidarla y protegerla. Más allá de la creencia popular que estigmatiza los zoológicos, éstos son lugares que procuran el bienestar animal y deben ser vistos como centros de ayuda y preservación, no de explotación. La parte más importante de su trabajo, más allá de velar por los rinocerontes o los monos, es hacer que las personas se apasionen por ellos, para que el cuidado y la conciencia sea compartida. Los animales piden ser respetados, nosotros debemos ser las voces y extender ese llamado.
Chingonas es la serie que presenta a mujeres en acción, inspirando a otros con su quehacer, historia y misión de vida.

00:14 I remember when I was little, I had found a baby hummingbird,
00:18 and it was just out of the nest, and it couldn't fly or anything yet.
00:21 So what I did was I made like a little box, and I put it up high, and made a little nest,
00:27 and put the little bird in it, because I knew the parents were close by.
00:31 So what happened was the parents came, and they fed the little bird every day,
00:35 and they watched it, and then one day, the little bird flew away, and I was hooked.
00:40 I knew I was going to work with animals.
00:43 [ Music ]
00:48 I think we have to connect with nature.
00:52 When you go to a zoo, think about the animals when you're looking at them.
00:57 What I tend to hear a lot is, "What's that animal doing?
01:04 He's not doing anything.
01:06 Let's keep walking."
01:06 What you want to do is you want to stop and watch that animal for a while,
01:11 because it is doing something.
01:13 It is either hiding, because it's a prey animal, you know,
01:18 and it's thinking of you as a predator.
01:20 So you may not know it, but you are having an effect on that animal.
01:24 Or also, like looking at monkeys.
01:27 A lot of people always laugh, because the primates are mad at you, and they're like,
01:31 "Oh, they're throwing things and stuff at me."
01:33 Well, what you want to do is learn a little bit about animal behavior.
01:37 When you stare at a monkey, you're threatening it.
01:41 You're going like, "Hey, you want to fight?"
01:43 And so what it's probably going to do is like, "Yeah, I'm going to fight."
01:48 So the best way to look at a monkey or a great ape is you look, look away.
01:55 Look, look away.
01:56 And if you look at the animal, it'll do that with you.
01:59 And then what's going to happen is there'll be a connection between the two of you,
02:04 because that animal notices that you are paying attention to him, to his needs.
02:09 So if you see an animal at the zoo or any place, you know, just sit quietly.
02:16 Don't make any noise.
02:18 Just kind of stay there a while, and you'll notice, and that animal will look at you.
02:22 You'll get a nice little connection with it, and then you'll have some interactions with it.
02:27 My name's Yvette Kemp.
02:34 I live in San Diego, California, and I work as a keeper at a zoo in San Diego.
02:40 I think my personal goal would be to make a difference, to be able to say,
02:47 "I helped save, you know, a couple of rhinos.
02:49 I helped to save a habitat.
02:52 I helped to save something," because I think that's what I'm supposed to do.
02:59 If I've loved animals ever since I was little, I think my job, my calling has been
03:07 to do something about it, not just talk about it, but to do something.
03:11 You're so cute.
03:14 You're so cute.
03:15 I know.
03:16 I always knew I was going to work with animals.
03:18 Ever since I was little, probably when I was eight years old, I used to go out in the field.
03:23 I used to catch mice, snakes, lizards, birds, and take care of animals that I found
03:31 that were hurt and have them all in my backyard.
03:33 When I moved to San Diego, I was able to get a job at the...
