Why is it that humans simply do not believe in the conscious differences different species have? We always feel as though we are the superior species of intelligence. But what if all living organisms are equally intelligent within their own species? 🤔 #39canimals

Crows have actually been found to be smarter than some animals like cats and even young, children!🧠 #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Angelica Flores Valdivia @Angelif5_]

The term animal intelligence can be misinterpreted many times. In simple terms, animal intelligence is the combination of skills and abilities that allow animals to survive and thrive in specific environments 💚 #WhatIlearnedin39C

Crows are actually one of the smartest, most clever species in the world! They actually remember faces for years and mimic sounds they hear! Here are details of this: https://t.co/Ru87SltDok #WhatIlearnedin39C

Lopresti-Goodman stresses the immense self-injurious behaviors that chimpanzees undergo as a consequence of the PTSD, Trauma, and other mental illnesses that their previous experimental laboratory experience brought onto them! https://t.co/49Z8GsaIVr

While focusing on re-locating unneeded chimpanzees from experimental settings to sanctuaries is significant, the greatest solution of all is to demand the NIH’s complete end of U.S Primate Testing! #39canimals

[Angelica Flores Valdivia @Angelif5_]

“Thirty-seven chimpanzees [are still now] languishing at a New Mexico primate laboratory” continuously waiting “for the NIH’s promise to retire them to a sanctuary after a lifetime spent in research” #39canimals

[Angelica Flores Valdivia @Angelif5_]

Retired chimpanzees need to be sent off to sanctuary homes, away from any more experiments! #39canimals

[Angelica Flores Valdivia @Angelif5_]

The CHIMP Act (2000) was passed nearly more than 20 years ago and more than 50 chimpanzees still remain behind bars in experimental facilities by the NIH...#39canimals

The existence of a legal market is such a controversial topic of discussion. Read this article in order to see the negative sides of such a market #39canimals

[Shraddha Hardikar @shayhardik]

Distinguishing legal and illegal ivory is nearly impossible. No elephants are safe while a legal market exists.

Progress towards reducing the deaths of wolves is slowly being achieved by more states! Let's remain hopeful #39canimals

[Angelica Flores Valdivia @Angelif5_]

This is such an eye-opener. I had never seen it like this! #39canimals

Forest destruction surely increases in severity by year! #39canimals

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

Corporations need way more pressure to end all of their cruel tendencies that affect the lives of innocent animals and all animals for that matter! This picture really helps sell how bad forest destruction is becoming. #39canimals

[Angelica Flores Valdivia @Angelif5_]

Wolves are in fact not as scary and mischievous as we imagine they are! #39canimals

[Anissa C @cordovanissa]

In order to decrease the hunting of gray wolves in the United States, we must change our perception of wolves. #39canimals

@BornFreeFDN is doing so much for chimpanzee preservation amidst all of the hardships they encounter with problems like poaching #39canimals

[Giselle Huerta @GiselleHuerta16]

@BornFreeFDN motto is #KeepWildlifeInTheWild and they are doing that for chimpanzees and many other animals! They fund vital research that monitors chimpanzee population, while also campaign against illegal bushmeat trade, encourage forest protection and much more! #39canimals

[Angelica Flores Valdivia @Angelif5_]

The extinction of elephants due to the ivory trade is such a scary phenomenon that we need to raise awareness about it! #39canimals

[Shraddha Hardikar @shayhardik]

There is now growing concern that buyers are speculating, hoarding large amounts of ivory in anticipation of extinction. Absolutely sickening. #39canimals

[Angelica Flores Valdivia @Angelif5_]

We know poaching is an issue, but how BAD of an issue is it? Read more by reading this article! #39canimals

[Kayla Dao Seidler @kaylaseidler]

"The reason why elephants are poached is because of their tusks and how they are sold at high prices on the black market."
