BREAKING NEWS! HUMANS JUDGE ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE!??
But seriously does an animal's artificial human-measured intelligence have to be a factor in whether or not they deserve at least some remote respect in co-existing with us on this planet? #39canimals

I didn't realize that as students we get access to this kinda stuff until this quarter! Though I feel like it'd be cool if the general public has access to good info like the papers we've picked out

#WhatIlearnedin39C I also learned how to use UCI Library to search research paper, and this website helps me better to devlop my AP essay.

This! It's easy to not care about the more extravagant species since they're so far, but just starting to care more about animals we constantly live around like birds or our dogs is a good first step!

[Justin @Justin21936937]

I feel that writing39C really showed me a lot about the animals we live with and neglect. Especially with birds and other animals we live with in our cities. #39canimals #WhatIlearnedin39C

Same here! The LR was probably the most challenging but the one project I learned from most writing wise

I learned how to write a proper literature review, drawing from examples like this review from Alison Jolly: https://t.co/QEnD5VmPgU

I think it's really cool how dolphins not only do this, but even in different pods have their own languages! Reminds me of how we might act differently in diff friend groups!

[shiqi chen @shiqichen12]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned that dolphins identify others and communicate with each other by signal whistles.

Our huge dependence on meat entirely really amplifies how much gases agriculture ends up producing!

[Andres Moreno @AndresM76049095]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned that factory farming, also known as animal agriculture, has an enormous impact on greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated that animal agriculture is responsible for 15% of greenhouse gas emissions, which is more than transportation.

While killer whales are trapped in tanks nothing like the natural ocean, their health and wellbeing are unwillingly traded to line the pockets of the captivity industry.

According to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) organization, since being first placed in captivity in 1961, 166 orcas have been taken into captivity, but 129 of these captured orcas are dead.

If you understand the meaning and purpose of a sanctuary, you also may infer that the antithesis of this aligns exactly with the current realities of killer whale captivity.

Learned how to write just a little bit better and I know how to skim through entire research papers now!

Birds should be given way more credit! They're incredibly intelligent as they are diverse and I'll think twice now on the word bird brain

Cultivating not only awareness but pushing cultural change to find value in nature is key to slowing down pollution and ultimately help with conservation! Little steps forward are better than doing nothing!

#39canimals Currently, more and more ocean pollutions come from human activity around beach area. It is necessary to let residents in the nearby area and tourists to realize the importance of the conservation of marine environment.

[Pearl Choi @PearlChoi6]

It's crazy to see the overlap between the experiences orcas and dolphins share after being captured!

Who knew taking an animal from its family and home affects its wellbeing???? /s
