It depends what kind of experience with animals. I know plenty of farmers in north yorkshire if thats any help.

Depends what sort of animals your talking about. eg most zoos take on volunteers as do most rescue centres ranging from those who deal with abandoned pets to those who deal with British wildlife some of whom specialise in a specific species. If you were thinking of it as a job then volunteer work is a great way to find out if your suited to it. | ||||

the farmers might be very usefull actualy. im going for veterinary at nottingham in a couple of years and im looking to gain as much experience with as wide a range of animal based work as possible. vets, zoos, farms, shelters everything really. as much as i can manage over the next two years whilst i finish my degree so anything that anyone might have. a name of someone they know in a buisness or somewhere that you have heard of is particularly good. im trying to find as much as possible on my own but any help with it is of course apreciated. *sigh* new lifestyle is hard

also any obscure areas that i might have missed that anyone can think of please mention them. ive already aplied for shadowing a vet at an abattoir but any other different area like labs or suchlike that normally might be difficult to find or get into would be great. | ||||

What about DEFRA www.defra.gov.uk 
They presumably have vets to issue Beechams to all those turkeys. |

Are you trying to give the man a headache? |

Could volunteer with the local cats protection, they normally need someone to help catch feral cats.
Sometimes these cats are re-homed and sometimes they catch them, have them neutered, get them vaccinated and then release them again as they don't have the room to foster them. |

you want a headache try comparing and discussing the differences between the animal welfare act 2006 and the animal protection act of 1911 and discussing what should be changed to help ect... that was one awfull exam. thanks for the help peeps. much apreciated. |

It would be more of a headache if you had to discuss it with DEFRA. Farmers I know who have to put up with them tell me they have some of the most ludicrous not to mention ambiguous rules and regulations. Let us know if you pass. |
