Youth of color face this struggle throughout their educational journey, hindering their ability to achieve their full academic potential. It highlights the disparities in opportunities and support available to these students compared to their more affluent, often white, peers.
In my EDUC 124 class where we learn about multicultural education, I was taught about the "opportunity gap" among students. The opportunity gap refers to the systemic lack of access and resources that students of color, from low-income communities, and other marginalized groups.
Animal shelter overcrowding leads to around 50% of the animals in the shelters getting euthanized simply due to the overcrowding. Do you want to get killed for no reason? #39canimals#endeuthanasia
#39canimals You can also help painted dogs by encouraging tourism! Places like Hwange National Park & the PDC give guided tours. Not only is it good for the economy, but helps to support conservation! Even if you cannot travel, suggest visiting the painted dogs to others who can!
Did you know the seconding leading cause of animal shelter overcrowding is owners that abandon their pet? How would you feel getting left with no explanation or reasoning? #39canimals#youcommittocare

#WhatILearnedin39C I have been educated about many topics involving animal welfare that was never brought to my attention before participating in my writing class.
"Mistreatment of pigs within industrial farms presents a moral debate that forces us to confront deeply ingrained societal norms. For as long as any of us can remember, societal norms regarding the commodification and experimentation of pigs have always remained the same."
In my AP I mentioned, the transition to factory farming has enabled better disease control & enhanced growth rates. Consumer demand plays a pivotal role in fueling the high consumption of pork globally, with individuals consuming significant amounts of pork annually. #39canimals
"By promoting humane treatment of pigs, implementing stricter welfare standards, and supporting sustainable farming methods, we can work towards a future where pigs are no longer subjected to unnecessary suffering in factory farms." #39canimals
"PETA highlights that major corporations like McDonald’s, Chipotle, and Target have committed to sourcing from farms that do not utilize gestation crates." #39canimals
In my advocacy project, I mention that by gradually altering our daily choices to refrain from supporting factory farming, we can make a difference step by step. #39canimals
Heartbreaking life of a factory-farmed mother pig
She is forcibly artificially inseminated and over the course of multiple pregnancies, she will be made to live in a farrow crate which will be for most of her short life. At a factory farm, she is just a breeding ‘machine’.
