Learning about research in animal science and becoming an advocate for animal-related issues

[Andrea @andreanparedes]

Animal shelters are in crisis because too many pets are waiting to be adopted, and there are not enough people to adopt them. Do NOT buy pets you know nothing about!

I learned how to write a literature review. Before this class, I had not read or written a literature review. At the same time, I learned how to create a connection between scholarly articles. #WhatILearnedIn39C

[Andrea @andreanparedes]

I learned to find scholarly articles to help me write my literature review and advocacy project essay. I will implement this new skill in my future classes. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Andrea @andreanparedes]

I learned how to create a website using Wix. Specifically, how to embed a tweet into my revision case study section. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Andrea @andreanparedes]

While watching the movie Earthlings, I learned that 27% of purebred dogs are among the homeless. #WhatIlearnedin39C

"Psychologist and animal rights advocate, Richard Ryder, explains that all species are related through evolution and biology, so we should treat all species like our evolutionary cousins (0:26)." https://t.co/BbgDoMF4ec

"These cruel breeding techniques cause dogs to develop genetic disorders, which are also inherited by future generations. These practices may also lead to severe health issues caused by drastic physical features like the short noses of pugs and bulldogs." #39canimals

"Over 670,000 dogs are euthanized yearly, and about 3.9 million dogs are turned in at shelters. Only 10% of dogs born will find a permanent home." #39canimals https://t.co/FAU7gXWScI

[Andrea @andreanparedes]

"One of the main reasons dogs are turned into shelters and euthanized is because they show signs of aggressive behavior, but ample training and dedication from the owner can resolve this issue." #39canimals https://t.co/EI3aEInnax

"The Puppy Protection Act would amend the Animal Welfare Act, which allows puppy mills to remain in business. It would require significant improvements to the standard of care required for licensed dog breeders." #39canimals

I did not know that was a common way for birds to die. Animals are so interesting to learn about because they can be so intelligent and lack in other areas, just like us. #39canimals

[Joonhyuk Song @jsabonr]

Millions of birds die annually from hitting windows. There are multiple ways to combat this, but a very easy way is to apply transparent film so that from the outside, the windows appear opaque. This will also help save cooling costs.

[Andrea @andreanparedes]

Puppy mill conditions need to be improved or shut down! We must protect all animals from inhumane environments. #39canimals

[Paulina Sofia Lugo Reyes @PaulinaSofiaLu1]

Many dogs that come from puppy mills bring diseases to their families because of the nasty conditions they are kept in. in order to prevent this these dogs must be treated for their physical and psychological wounds. #39canimals

[Andrea @andreanparedes]

This practice is unacceptable! Dogs' ears should not be cropped! #protectdogs #39canimals

[Teresa Perez @TeresaP1030]

Did you guys know that there is a good amount of people out in the world who believe the sharpness of a dog's ears as a result of ear cropping is a genetic mutation, and not a result of a surgical procedure? We need to raise awareness of this cruel practice. #39canimals #dogs

[Andrea @andreanparedes]
