Looking to explore and research more about the ethics of animal science! This is for a research writing course I'm taking at UCI.

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

Now that Education 124 is wrapped up, I've learned so much more about myself as well as the social injustices that occur in our education system. I gained perspectives from different groups of people thatI previously did not have. Overall I'd highly recommend taking this course!!

Despite the elephant population going down human-elephant conflict "continues to stay persistent and intensify due to humans expanding and creating less available space for these animals to roam (Naughton 8)." #39canimals https://t.co/hq6TPXSTGK

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

"frequency of elephant crop raids are likely exaggerated due to how severe the result of an elephant crop raid can be as well as government officials insuring and promising compensation to farmers when elephant crop raids occur (Naughton 65)."#39canimals https://t.co/hq6TPXSTGK

This is so cruel. Truly despicable #39canimals

[Zulaikha Sael @zsael3]

Hunters in Idaho shoot and trap countless animals yearly on private land, they lure wolves within gun range and then run them to the point of exhaustion “using ATV and snowmobiles and stalk them after dark using night vision technology”

"Like dogs on chains, caged birds crave freedom and companionship, not the cruel reality of forced solitary confinement for the rest of their very long lives." (PETA)

This excerpt should provide insight onto the obvious solution, which is to FREE THEIR WINGS!!! #39canimals

Really cool and informative infographic! Great share! It does a great job at conveying a lot of information with great graphics!!! #39canimals

[Julia Eng @AnimalEthics39C]

We can spread knowledge and campaign for parrot conservation on social media. Avoiding products (like palm oil) that cause deforestation and harms macaws helps to protect them (Save the Parrots). #39canimals

Ooooh how interesting, I wonder what other animals can do the same #39canimals

[Angelica Flores Valdivia @Angelif5_]

Researchers have found that dolphins are some of the few animals who can understand seeing their own reflection #39canimals

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

Looking at the website and all the other animals being affected by this is so saddening :( We need to do better and protect these animals! #39canimals

[Julia Eng @AnimalEthics39C]

Throughout my research for Writing 39C, I learned that many animals including parrots and orangutans are further threatened by deforestation for human development and agriculture, such as palm oil plantations. #39canimals #WhatIlearnedin39C

Humans truly are the most aggressive and barbaric even if we claim to be civil. I feel like we pride ourselves way too much in thinking we're "better" than other animals when we really aren't. #39canimals

[Zulaikha Sael @zsael3]

Animals are called violent and aggressive, but ironically, we are the ones who are the most violent. Humans are the ones that hunt them down relentlessly/are the ones that drive them out of their habitats, giving them nowhere to go and limiting survival means

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

Dang that's crazy! I wonder if there are ways to try and prevent this? It doesn't seem intentional by any means but I wonder if there may be some ways to help combat this from occurring. #39canimals

[Julia Eng @AnimalEthics39C]

I learned that humans can unintentionally spread #invasiveanimals and plants that threaten #nativewildlife when organisms get caught on boats or other forms of transportation. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39canimals

Oh man this image is hard to look at. Those poor wolves. The way the guys are holding them feels so wrong as well. #39canimals

[Zulaikha Sael @zsael3]

Wolves have been threatened constantly by the unnecessary human involvement that has been increasing over the years nonstop. This event has created problems for them and their livelihood.

#WhatIlearned39C I learned how to begin using Wix to build a website which has been interesting. I've definitely struggled and gotten frustrated with it at times but I've been trying my best to persist through it all!

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned how elephants will wait for younger disabled elephants went traveling! You can read more about it here as well as a lot of other cool things about elephants!!!

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned that elephants are evolving to be tuskless due to poachers targeting elephants with large tusks! Very disappointing to see one of the most iconic parts of this beautiful behemouth be slowly eradicated :(

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned that elephants have approximately 400,000 nerves in their trunks!!!

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned how Twitter can be used as an effective tool for research and promoting/advocating for a cause! I also learned how to use Twitter!

Human-elephant conflict in India causes annually "up to 15,000 homes damaged and 10 million hectares of crops damaged (Perera 43)." #39canimals https://t.co/awTV0LgazL

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

Preventing poachers from illegally killing elephants has become "increasingly difficult as many of them are a part of terrorist groups and organized crime operations typically armed with advanced weaponry (“Elephants and the Ivory Trade.”)." #39canimals
https://t.co/7Ebm6kYz6m

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

When elephants remain chained up for hours a day with little to no movement, they "develop abnormal behavior like rocking and swaying back and forth (“Animal Circuses, Animal Suffering.”). #39canimals

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

This is so crazy to learn and research about. One of the most iconic features of these beautiful behemoths is being erased right before our eyes. #39canimals. .

[Shraddha Hardikar @shayhardik]

In unpoached populations, only about 2-4% of the population evolves to be naturally tuskless. In poached populations, the number is closer to 35%. Our actions are accelerating evolution!
