females like working with animals, females are cheaper work labour on average (in the same jobs)

there can be many reasons why one job is done by females and others by males.
doesn't make the job or person less then the other though

A dominant woman isn't the one in the high powered board meetings, wearing a mannish suit and brandishing a loaded briefcase. A strong woman is one who CHOOSES to live her life exactly as she wants to, without care for what she is expected to do by society. A dominant woman does all that and has men/women who live to serve her whilst she does whatever the hell she wants to do.

Nice stereotyping there.  I wouldn't say that either sex automatically likes to work with animals more than the other sex.  Zoos tend to pay the same wage for keeper positions regardless of gender; they can't really get away with anything else.

NG, re a comment you made to me about women and them being neglected in board rooms, etc.

I was a wife and mother for years. I CHOSE that for myself, no one forced me into, it was exactly what I wanted, not what was expected of me, by anyone. I was no little woman who stayed home and baked biscuits because that's the way it should be.

There are currently more female than male animal wranglers in the zoo and wildlife industry, and damn good ones too.

Many times, when working with animals, attempting to use brute force actually has the reverse of the desired effect.
