I'm a student at UCI, currently learning Writing 39C: Animal Science & Rights. I'm currently learning about research in animal science.

#39canimals hunting elephants for their teeth is very cruel and needs to stop.

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

"Elephant poaching is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed because, on average, the World Wildlife Fund reports that about 55 African elephants are killed illegally every day, contributing to the rapid decline in the elephant population (“African Elephant”)." #39canimals

#39canimals hope there are more individuals standing out for other species' rights

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals some dogs are kept by someone who doesn't care about them. They get tortured and disposed somewhere when they become useless.

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals dogs are just domesticated wolves. They are the same species thousands of years ago.

[HaotianZhang @Haotian91763770]

Wolves, like dogs, can be domesticated. #39canimals

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals indeed, but sometimes the law is not effective enough to stop all animal harms

[HaotianZhang @Haotian91763770]

The law has always been a strong and effective way to protect animals. #39canimals

#39canimals Mariana Crows face the same problems. They are endangered because of habitat lose due to human activities.

[Jhanavi @Jhanavi50940078]

Ape populations have shrunk as a result of hunting, illegal pet trade, commercial logging, mining, etc. #39canimals

#39canimals the species I researched about, crows, face a problem of hunting. It's considered as necessary hunting, but still, they are intelligent creatures that can feel pain. This needs to stop.

[HaotianZhang @Haotian91763770]

Twitter is a great place to call on people to solve problems. STOP OVERHUNTING. #39canimals

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals agree. Animals are also living creatures. We should never enforce someone else to do something they don't want to.

[Jhanavi @Jhanavi50940078]

Animals should never perform for our entertainment, they belong in their own habitats #39canimals

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals new technologies can definitely be a new possible solution.

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals apes are one of the species that's closely related to us. It's not a surprise that they can act similarly to us.

[Jhanavi @Jhanavi50940078]

Along with their ability to collaborate and solve given problems, apes are able to copy the actions of humans after observation. #39canimals

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned about how to use UCI library and search for research articles. That's very useful for finding information.

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned that not only primates and humans can be intelligent and conscious, we are not so different than other animals too.

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned that crows are actually animals with high intelligence. They can recognize people and use tools.

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned to use Twitter for researching. Information that researchers' and organizations' accounts gave is useful.

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals "If everyone agrees with not harming other species or destroying their habitat, and everyone develops a thought of protecting the natural environment and stop polluting, there will not be any problems appearing in the future that innocent animal species need to face"

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals "The captive breeding plan has a downside to it too. The ancestry population is too small, which in this case only contains nine founders." https://t.co/d7cUWeT7VG

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals "Electrical barriers can be effective in protecting the nests of Mariana Crows from being destroyed by ground predators, and at the same time protect the population of endangered wild Marian Crows." https://t.co/Kn1s4dqe0P

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals "The reason for the decreasing population (of the extinct Hawaiian Crows) is believed to be reduced food levels due to habitat disturbance. Some minor causes are predation on fledglings, avian disease, and human hunting (Giffin 1987)."

[Thomas Pan @PagazonePan]

#39canimals "there are only 592 (Mariana) crows left (Fancy 1999). The comparison indicated a 56% decrease of Mariana Crow population, suggesting to be the result of habitat loss due to human development, typhoons, and persecution."
