#WhatIlearnedin39C Also learned that there are less than 800 Asiatic Lions alive and they live in a single isolated community.

#WhatIlearnedin39C Learned that when an adult male African Lion is killed through trophy hunting, about 30 more die from their pride.

#39canimals "[T]rophy hunting stands out as the most inhumane and directly damaging issue that lions face leading to around “660 lions killed” annually (Hunting Lions)."

#39canimals "In South Africa, there are a staggering “300 captive lion breeding facilities…that make an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 animals available for trophy killing” (Block and Amundson)."

[Abel Spackman @AbelSpackman]

#39canimals An argument could be made that the employment and revenue trophy hunting creates for so many people far outweighs the deaths of a few lions. What if those lions were human instead? Would killing humans be worth the benefits it provides?

[Abel Spackman @AbelSpackman]

#39canimals “trophy hunting annually contributes more than US$341 million to the South African economy” and arguably even more importantly, creates more than “17,000 job opportunities” (Saayman et al 1).

"#39canimals In July of 2015, Walter Palmer, a U.S. dentist, paid a substantial “$54,000” not just to shoot, but to bow hunt a 13 year old lion Cecil who was well known to many visitors (Hall)."

#WhatIlearnedin39C also learned to find credible sources like studies and well-known organizations.

[Abel Spackman @AbelSpackman]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I also learned that lions are poached for specific body parts that have a high demand for luxury items.

[Abel Spackman @AbelSpackman]

#WhatIlearnedin39C learned that there are two types of lions, African and Asiatic. Asiatic has a far lower population which may be why I hadn't known about it initially

#39canimals sad to see good progress reverted

[Abel Spackman @AbelSpackman]

#39canimals agreed, our growing population is leading to a dramatic increase in agriculture, hurting a plethora of animal habitats

[Jessica Verduzco @JessicaVerduzc7]

Agriculture is the biggest threat to habitat conservation. Not eating meat is the most important solution one can make in our current climate. #39canimals

#39canimals go sign this petition!!

[Abel Spackman @AbelSpackman]

#39canimals i NEED one of these

[Abel Spackman @AbelSpackman]

#39canimals Absolutely! If they destroy it then they should have to fix it.

[Julia Eng @AnimalEthics39C]

This is a very valid point. Corporations need to take responsibility of the harm they do the the environment and work to improve the world. #39canimals

[Abel Spackman @AbelSpackman]

#39canimals stuff like this always goes under the radar

[Noah Zamora @NoahZamora13]

This is the sad truth that our governments attempt to hide from us! #39canimals

[Abel Spackman @AbelSpackman]

#39canimals wow that much seafood that isn't monitored is absolutely a problem

[Oceana @oceana]

Was your seafood dinner illegally caught? About 60% of seafood imported to the U.S. are not covered by the current Seafood Import Monitoring Program, allowing illegally caught seafood to end up on your plate. Tell @POTUS to #StopIllegalFishing: https://t.co/SxPtIQHBbs

#39canimals crazy and I used to think it'd be lower because of covid

[GO GREEN @ECOWARRIORSS]

Biggest ever rise in co2 emissions in 2021 - that is how world is fighting climate change
According to International Energy Agency, energy-related CO2 emissions increased by 6% in 2021
Increase in global CO2 emissions by over 2 billion tons largest in absolute terms in history

#39canimals never knew they had vaccinations for chimpanzees awesome!

[Giselle Huerta @GiselleHuerta16]

There have been milestones in helping ease the decline of chimpanzees population due to infectious diseases. Such as administering vaccinations shown in a study done in 2014 by Julie Rushmore #39canimals #chimpanzees #savethechimps

#39canimals factory farming is one of those issues people always overlook but is something that everyone should acknowledge

[Mona @geramims]

Factory farming is no secret and it is not unsuccessful either. When rabbits are awaiting testing they are "housed in isolation" in labs (Gerami 10). More on this at https://t.co/Et59vXIa0B
