many animals are misunderstood and as humans we should appreciate all the ways different species contribute to the world #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

i've learned how to effectively annotate sources and read them in a way to better understand the content #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

advocating for issues using platforms like Twitter can help spread the word much quicker and more effectively #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

most animals minds are much more complex than I was aware of #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

i learned the term speciesism and how often humans have and continue to exploit other animals #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

social media is a great way to increase awareness on the issue! organizations like the Puppy Mill Project have arranged movements like the one in the picture through their reach online #39canimals

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

Rachel Curit from One Green Planet says that supporting local breeders is not only a good decision economically but can help bring down the puppy mill industry #39canimals

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

states that have banned the sale of commercially bred dogs at large pet stores have seen a decrease in the amount of puppy mills #39canimals

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

research done by the Best Friends Animal Society has shown that commercially bred dogs often have increased aggression and other behavioral issues #39canimals

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

the Humane Society of the United States says that over 2 million dogs are bred in puppy mills each year, and more than 1 million of them are euthanized due to overcrowding or health related reasons #39canimals

hope these practices help protect the lions #39canimals

[olivia canales @oliviacanales10]

A study in Zambia saw lions dying by two percent every year. They proposed practices "including conservative quotas, harvest restricted to older age classes, changes in the quota allocation structure and accurate, and transparent trophy monitoring and enforcement." #39canimals

“An estimated amount of 2,000 to 3,000 cetaceans are held in captivity all around the world where they live a repetitive, boring, short life & an estimated 5,000 have died in captivity since the 1950’s” #39canimals https://t.co/x2uaSPvtLH

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

hope we can find a way to protect them #39canimals

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

stray dogs must be protected too #39canimals

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#39canimals The longer stray dogs are outside trying to survive, the greater the risk of exposure they get to potentially severe diseases like Leishmaniasis which they are capable of transmitting across species to humans

Plastic is often confused by animals for food, and thus the materials are ingested by many animals.

even if you aren't able to donate money, educating family and friends about the best ways to adopt a pet is also an effective way to stop puppy mills #39canimals

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

donations not only help fight against puppy mills, but they also go toward providing the necessary care for former mill dogs. here is a link that gives a complete guide of what the donated money is used for! #39canimals https://t.co/BwWd6Wz3mV

[Akhil Pulianda @APulianda]

providing organizations with information like this brings us one step closer to ending the mistreatment of dogs in puppy mills and other shelters #39canimals
