Looking to speak out on animal-related issues and learning about animal science.

Let us hope this does not happen

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

I'm glad there is a sight of progress.

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

We have a duty to inform those that do not know.

"On an individual level, something that can be done to is to help spread knowledge about inhumane animal treatments in factory farming because most people lack the information that they need to recognize the severity of farmed animal treatments. "

Save the bees

[Kira Kubo @kira_kubo]

If honey bees go extinct, a third of our crops die out. With them goes the animals that feed on those crops. Major parts of our food sources disappear, causing hundreds of thousands of human beings to die of starvation. We cannot exist without them. #39canimals

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

This is a hugely overseen problem without enough effort to overrule it entirely.

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

Unadopted dogs and rescued mill dogs lead to dog overpopulation and overcrowded animal shelters. Each year, around 1.2 million dogs are euthanized to create more space. #39canimals

I enjoyed how informative this was.

"Restoring the Comlumbia and Snake River basin (removal of dams) is crucial for chinook salmon to survive and therefore, for orcas to survive." #39canimals

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

People underestimate how essential bees are.

[Kira Kubo @kira_kubo]

Laboratory studies have found that these substances have many harmful effects on honey bees, including “increased mortality, impaired feeding, impaired locomotion, altered learning and memory, impaired foraging, and reduced immunity” #39canimals

This is really sad. I had no idea this was the reality of the matter.

"For most factory farms, pigs stay on hard concrete floors because it is easier to clean bare flooring...Pregnant pigs are especially vulnerable to leg problems-their bone density decreases tremendously with the poor living condition and the extra carrying of babies."

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

I like this post, as I also dealt with this issue due to my concern with dolphin captivity.

[Eric @EricDal82839594]

"The global solution is to build a sanctuary where retired captive orcas and belugas can be placed...(allowing them) to have more space to travel and more social companions...reducing their stress"

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

This is very interesting. I also mentioned this in my AP because it affects dolphins as well.

[Sea Otters @SeaotterOtters]

"Partaking in beach clean-ups is a way people can be proactive and make sure the waters where sea otters and other marine mammals are living in are not getting polluted."
Take a look at the image to see which pieces of trash are commonly found #39canimals

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

"The next global solution that has been proposed to solve the problem of habitat degradation has been the laws and policies regarding littering and the trashing of the oceans." (Christopher Calvillo)

"Human culture is also involved as it fails to notice this treatment at hand and continues to deem it excusable. Dolphin captivity tends to create the most impact in ethical and moral terms and brings in the question of its existence." (Christopher Calvillo)
#39canimals

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

"Dolphin captivity captures and holds wild dolphins for their benefit to the human race. Instilling abuse and psychological and physiological trauma, the problem opposes the common existences of ethical standards within any human activity." (Christopher Calvillo)
#39canimals

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

"According to the Change for Animals Foundation, a foundation that fights for the rights of cetaceans, an estimated 2, 360 cetaceans are held within captivity, with 2, 000 of these cetaceans being dolphins." (Christopher Calvillo)

I learned that bear bile is used for traditional Asian medicine and is obtained through the killing of bears.

I learned that there are so many things that are more likely to kill you before a shark can. A firework has a greater chance of killing you than a shark can.

I learned that elephants do, in fact, have excellent memories, suggesting a background as to why hers have survived for so long.

I learned that dolphins are able to recognize themselves in mirrors before babies do, suggesting a cognitive advantage in this species.
