#39canimals Imagine how you would feel if you were separated suddenly from your own family. The effects of this is not limited to our own species.

[Bella @belladicicco]

#39canimals The stress of being on public display and being separated from one’s family has been shown to cause extreme changes in behavior that would not be observed in the wild.

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#39canimals Very good point! We need to divert some attention from buying to adopting!

[Angeles Rosales @Angeles39c]

One easy solution is to bring upon the awareness of the urgency to adopt instead of buying. Shelters are over populated because people lean to buy instead and we need to shift that. #39canimals

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#39canimals There are plenty of Rescue organizations out there that could use our help in adopting dogs so that we can free up space for more strays!

[Angeles Rosales @Angeles39c]

A lot of ways our dogs are suffering cruelty is by not knowing where we get them. Make sure to know you aren't buying from someone who supports cruelty in puppy mills. #39canimals

#39canimals One of Africa's most iconic animals! Losing them is like losing a piece of African history!

#39canimals Save the orangutans!

#39canimals We cannot leave littering unnoticed!

[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)

#39canimals I love this solution!

[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"

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#39canimals One of the best ways to combat this problem is to spread awareness and encourage others to adopt! Even if you are not financially ready for a dog, you probably know I few people that are!

[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

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#39canimals Lets help to reduce these numbers!

[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

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#39canimals Polluting oceans is affecting the lives of many marine animals!

[Sue @sz80793358]

killer whales should have a better living environment without water pollutants. We should work on control the discharge of pollutants to avoid further chemical organic compounds infested the ocean. #39canimals

#WhatIlearnedin39C The UCI Library provides a great number of research articles among other sources that can help you in your own individual research for any class of interest!

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#WhatIlearnedin39C The World Health Organization estimates that there are approximately 200 million stray dogs worldwide in search of food and families!

#WhatIlearnedin39C It is important to keep track of key words while you are reading because often those words will help you with further outside research, especially scientific research where the jargon is very pedantic and formal.

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#WhatIlearnedin39C Researching the author before reading their articles is very important for critical reading and confirms whether or not they are credible and if you should use there findings as a source.

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#WhatIlearnedin39C Animals are capable of deceiving others of their own species to give them the upper hand in food supply without having to share.

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#39canimals Adopting dogs from local shelters is the best solution to solving our problems with homeless stray populations because many are not capable of looking after themselves in a world dominated by our own species!

#39canimals California Penal Code 597 is helping to protect animals from physical abuse, abandonment and other acts of neglect, locking pets in hazardous conditions, dog fighting, selling in public, and more.

#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

[Jacob Brooks @JacobBr32953441]

#39canimals Franklin McMillan conducted the following experiment which showed that dogs with prior traumatic experiences were seen exhibiting more aggressive and fearful around unfamiliar humans or dogs:

We respect our soldiers for their time at war and provide aid when they are struggling with PTSD, however, we are failing to consider the consequences of these symptoms in our dogs as well! #39canimals
