I am curious to know how i could become a lion trainer at the MGM Grand Hotel %26amp; Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
I would like information like do i need previous experience with animal training or will they train me, do i need to be 21 or older, and if you are someone currently working there or previously worked there did/do you like the job and have you ever gotten attacked or are the lions as sweet as they look?How do I become a lion trainer at the MGM?
I plan on being an exotic animal trainer, I found a community college in california that has a program for it. Its called Moorpark College. I would go to their site for more information. Can't get much better than an actual animal training degree. Other than that, Experience is always better. Zoology, biology, animal behavior degrees all are applicable. I've heard from seaworld trainers that Child development classes are useful too. As for age, you would have to contact MGM directly. ALL trainers are attacked or hurt at some point in their career. It comes with the territory but most 'attacks' are not severe. Lions are wild animals. They are also individuals with emotions. Any human at some point can get mad and yell at someone they love or trust. Lion's getting angry can result in yelling, and a physical attack. Experience will clue you into when an animal is being pushed over the edge.
Good luck!How do I become a lion trainer at the MGM?
I would assume to go to school for Zoology and apply when someone dies (ull see it in the newpaper)
