A student learning about research in animal science and becoming an active voice on Twitter about animal-related issues
#39canimals is our class hashtag.
#WhatIlearnedin39C the best solution to prevent dogs from being abused and killed in experiments is to appeal to the public to pay much attention and make contributions to let policymakers and scientists know the severity.
#WhatIlearnedin39C the problems, such as being used in cruel experiments and being killed to make products, that dogs face now are cruel and need to be solved. https://t.co/vUj7fPqnIU
#WhatIlearnedin39C I also get to know that, “There are indications that a person’s relationship with an animal can influence his or her perception of that animal’s inner experiences” (Tiffany 418). https://t.co/jzHZoXqffa.
Taiwan and Hong Kong have already introduced laws prohibiting the slaughter of any dog or cat for human consumption. Thailand passed the Prevention of Animal Cruelty and Provision of Animal Welfare Act, that banned the trade or consumption of dog meat. #39canimals
"Elephants are, for most people, exotic and exciting creatures ... We force them to entertain us, capturing and abusing them to remain docile so that they can perform in our circuses or give rides to tourists" #39canimals

"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 The abandonment of dogs is indirectly hurting them. Dogs on the streets have an average life span of three years, struggle to survive, and have very low fecundity and little survival rate. For moral reasons, we shouldn't abandon dogs!!
"Drones can patrol high above and keep watch on large amounts of land at once in the darkness, making them extremely useful in catching illegal poaching"

“We share the world with creatures whose curious brains peacefully seek us,” and we mistreat and unethically use them for our own advantage (Safina 375). #39canimals
Another way to prevent your dog from getting lost is neutering and spaying your dog. A neutered or spayed dog will have less of a tendency to roam and get lost. #39canimals
