In this course, we are learning about research in animal science and becoming active voice about animal-related issues.

Some types of elephants are especially affected by the habitat loss, with Sumatran elephants native to Indonesia critically endangered, having a total population as small as 2800 elephants (Mariati 248).

The overall effect of habitat loss on the Sumatran elephants has been devastating; the population has fallen by “80 percent in less than 25 years,” (WWF).

The social image toward wolves is often negative. “The…depicts them as cruel, recreational killers, intelligent, aggressive, evil, and bold” (Sevillano-Triguero https://t.co/b0ko2qo1bc. 2).

This may not be a solution, but if ships were able to avoid densely populated areas of marine life then they would not be disrupting as many lives as they go through the ocean. #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

If we are able to redesign the way that vessels are made so that the noise they give off doesn't effect ocean life it would make a huge difference. #39canimals

People could join this activity easily by advocating for dolphins in this way.

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

The Dolphin Project is an organization focused on helping dolphins and their wellbeing. For years they have been advocating for dolphins and spreading the word of how horrible captivity is for dolphins. You can help by pledging to not buy a ticket for a dolphin show #39canimals

I learned that peer reviews are important to have throughout this course. It is better to listen to others' suggestions than focus on only selves. #WhatILearnedin39C

[Jingye Lu @LuJingye]

The use of Connect helped me to read and view the articles in a detailed way. The reading process helped me a lot. #WhatILearnedin39C

[Jingye Lu @LuJingye]

Through the research assignments, I learned how animals could have cognitions, emotions, self-recognizations, and more information related to animal science. #WhatILearnedin39C

[Jingye Lu @LuJingye]

I learned the use of Twitter as a good platform to advocate and help to spread information. #WhatILearnedin39C

"The idea of 'health-focused' breeding is another solution to improve the dogs' welfare . . . Within this condition of 'health-focused' breeding, it could help to improve animal welfare and help reduce their susceptibility to disease (“'Health-Focused' Breeding”)." #39canimals

[Jingye Lu @LuJingye]

"Within dog breeding production, the breeders tend to exaggerate the physical features of certain breeds (RSPCA), in order to have the best-looking puppies, which other people would like to pay for dogs with these characteristics." #39canimals

[Jingye Lu @LuJingye]

"With the overpopulation of dogs from puppy mills, newborn dogs cannot be sold or adopted ultimately, which will lead to rising health problems among the dogs, and abuse. The rise of health problems is from two aspects: inherited health problems and human-caused." #39canimals

[Jingye Lu @LuJingye]

"In the article '20 Dog Breeding Statistics You Didn’t Know About,' more than 10,000 puppy mills are operating in the US, both legally and illegally. The illegal puppy mills are unethical, where the puppies were born only to be cute and purebred for humans to trade." #39canimals

[Jingye Lu @LuJingye]

"Dog breeding problem or selective breeding problem has been raised as an important problem, which people should be concerned about from many aspects. With the rising of dog breeding, puppy mills and factories kept growing in the US." #39canimals

[Jingye Lu @LuJingye]

The breed recognition could take a long time to be recognized in the AKC (American Kennel Club). These are ten points people could learn from the breed recognition. #39canimals

[American Kennel Club @akcdoglovers]

Which breed was the fastest to be recognized? https://t.co/ZGaR4wWD11

[Jingye Lu @LuJingye]

This article published on the American Kennel Club website provided the dog breed improvements through the research. For people, the increase in awareness levels within a breed would be helpful for improvement. #39canimals

American Kennel Club is a non-profit organization, founded in 1884, that advocates for the purebred dog as family companions, advances canine health and well-being, protects the rights of all dog owners, and promotes responsible dog ownership. #39canimals https://t.co/FBuWGTgesP
