UCI Writing 39C | learning about animal research, rights, science, and any animal related issues 🦆🦦

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

One of the most important things I learned in this class is to be more aware and alert to the animal community. Some things are not as innocent and playful as we once thought them to be when we were young. Zoos are unethical and we need to make a change #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

Another thing I learned in this course is to appreciate every piece of literature I read. This writing course gave me a new perspective on all the hard work it takes to put together a research article and all the hours that are put in to it. #WhatIlearnedin39C

I learned how crucial it is to have peer reviews. Not only does it help your peers but it also aids in your own learning experience. It shows you what you could add to your own writing as well as what not to add #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

Something important I learned in this course is how to scout for reliable sources through the Connect activities. The annotations allowed me to determine which source would be beneficial to my writing and which wouldn't. #WhatIlearnedin39C

"Locations that are severely impacted by poaching are Mozambique and Tanzania. Their elephant populations have been rapidly declining by “14% and 17% per year, respectively” (Chase et al.)" #39canimals

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

Elephants "are essential to our world because once they become endangered and, perhaps, extinct, this sets off a chain of events that can cause another species to go extinct and some plants will become invasive (Owen-Smith)." #39canimals https://t.co/1inOIsPqqj

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

By interfering with the poacher’s techniques and confiscating their tools, the guards were able to reduce the poaching in the vicinity. #39canimals https://t.co/dcNZZXE3fe

"These innocent elephants are being killed every day for sport, for their tusks, for profit. Elephants are animals that can feel pain and suffering, yet, the humans who hunt them disregard that fact and continue to maliciously kill them without a thought." #39canimals

[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

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

This dramatic decline is insane! We need to start finding new ways to conserve these animals because they are crucial to our environment #39canimals

[Christine Nguyen @christinekn]

Hjalmar Kuhl reports on the status of western chimpanzees and estimates that their populations declined 6 percent annually for a total of 80.2 percent by the end of the 24-year study (1990-2014) (9).

Upon writing my AP essay on elephants as well, I became more enlightened on issues and did not realize how blind I was to them #39canimals

[Kevin Nguyen @kevinnguyen39C]

"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

I hope to see other countries following in the footsteps of Canada when it comes to banning dolphin captivity #39canimals

[aria @aria39c]

#39canimals "The best global solution is offered by government officials or scientists using their power to pass bills to help end captivity."

This image is so informative! I was not aware of how much noise there was underwater and how harmful it could be #39canimals

[itsGordon @itsGordon1]

#39canimals "Among all potential threats, the ocean noise pollution causes the most disruptive problem to sperm whales since it leads to distortion and confusion among sperm whales’ communication and socialization."

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

Elephants are amazing creatures and deserve better treatment! #39canimals

[Kevin Nguyen @kevinnguyen39C]

"Indeed, showing empathy, acting compassionately, and reacting negatively to death are all human traits that are clearly shown in elephants." #39canimals

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

This is such a major issue going on! I, too, wrote about elephant poaching and I am glad to see others speaking on the topic as well :) #39canimals

[Kelly :) @KellyUrdaz]

problem 1: "Elephants are becoming extinct due to the fact that humans are killing them for financial purposes ( Why Care? - World Elephant Day)". #39canimals

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

This reminds me of how related humans and animals are! Yawns are just as contagious for them as they are for us #39canimals

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

Glad to see progress being made! #39canimals

[Linxiu Zou (22633176) @L22633176]

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

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

This mistreatment of animals is seen throughout many species and it is so disheartening #39canimals

[Fiona Wu @fionaw39c]

“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

[Britney Chung @BritneyChung]

Glad to see someone else speaking out about elephant poaching as well! Such an interesting and crucial issue #39canimals

One of the most important problems contributing to the dramatic decline in elephant populations is poaching.
