I am a freshman in college advocating for animals rights as a part of my writing class! #39canimals

There are many issues and human activities that can make detrimental affect on animals species. Specifically for sharks, these include overfishing, bycatch, and habitat loss. The third of which I hadn't thought of and was a new idea to me #whatilearnedin39c

"Overall, this field is getting less attention because of certain preconceived notions about sharks."

Partially due to the fact that sharks have been deemed scary and villainous creatures, there has been few amounts of research on what is a very intelligent species. #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

"...sharks as a species have been around for over 400 million years..."

Sharks have survived all of the mass extinctions, yet might not survive the next. This is because of us. #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

"Sharks as a general species give birth to very small numbers of young and are known to grow and mature relatively slowly (“Shark”)"

With sharks being very slow reproducing animals, it makes their nearing extinction very worrying, unable to repopulate themselves. #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

"Bills SB 100 and HB 561 sought to strengthen a previously approved act called the 1996 Mangrove Trimming and Preservation Act (Clement)."

These bills were set to do great things for the health of Florida mangroves. But they died in committee. Give these bills time! #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

."..he U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service has been working with nations to improve the status of their local mangrove forests (Moulton)."The USDA has collaborated to help local communitites in Madagascar with mangroves! (excerpt from AP) #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

Think about this... Excerpt from my AP "Will greedy consumerism be the reason researchers and divers and all other forms of life never see another shark on Earth? This scenario is actually extremely likely with the current situation." #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

the amount of consumers is very important to think about when trying to make a change #39canimals

[Orangutans R Us @Orangutans_R_Us]

One manner in which individuals can contribute throughout their daily lives is by making use of eco-friendly sourced palm oil derivatives when buying products #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

This is so sad. How can this continue #39canimals

[yvette @yvtln278]

Cows housed in freestalls have improved hygiene and reduced hock injuries, but they also have the highest percentage of lameness compared to other housing types. #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

This is a new fact for me, very interesting! #39canimals

[Laila Mae Kelly @laimkelly]

I've learned many things about the apes species in general including the fact that you can tell apart and ape and a monkey by their tails! Monkeys have tails and apes do not, so don't get them mixed up! #WhatIlearnedin39C

[emily @ei42135]

This is foul. How can people find the lives of animals so undeserving of respect and decency??? #39canimals

[Francesca Antonia Froio @fro22603]

Octopus’s on Ectasy!? Researchers unethically shipped an two spot octopus 3,000 miles, bred said octopus, and administered its offspring ectasy to understand how the ‘feel good’ drug impacts humans and faced no consequences due to lack of protective legislation.

[emily @ei42135]

I feel like this is something that a lot of people say, but don't take seriously. Im glad that people are spreading awareness!! #39canimals

[Francesca Antonia Froio @fro22603]

My dog definitely has separation anxiety and this graph makes me question why it is such a common issue among canines? #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

If more companies can implement sustainable palm oil practices, then we can save orangutan populations! #39canimals

[Alina Inzunza @alinainzunza19]

Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil is a global membership organization worldwide that unites the palm oil industry to develop and implement global standards for the production of sustainable palm oil. Support to save orangutans. #39canimals

We need to put pressure on policymakers so that they start focusing on issues such as these. #39canimals

[David Liu @davjliu]

Outside of the UK with the Animal Sentience Act, all other major countries have done little to acknowledge or construct protections for octopus. #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

This was something that I (very briefly) noted in my Advocacy Project. This issue, bycatch, and overfishing in general as well, are MAJOR issues that sharks face and are causing their extinction. #39canimals

[Nolan Writing 60 @NolanWriting60]

Longline tuna fishing is a method of fishing in which long lines of fishing nets are dragged following a boat to catch large amounts of tuna, however this method of fishing can be very dangerous for other sea creatures, especially sharks. #39canimals

In writing 60, I learned a LOT about in text citations (MLA). Check out my portfolio to see how I fixed the problems.

Spoiler... there were a lot #WhatIlearnedin39C

ALL OF THESE DOGS ARE SO CUTE PLS ADOPT THEM THEY DESERVE LOVING HOMES #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

How have we not made any progress in all of this time? Change is needed! #39canimals

[yvette @yvtln278]

Deemed a “medieval” practice by Guardian editor Tom Levitt, tiestalls tether cows in place by their necks with a chain or strap and limit them to only standing or sitting positions. #39canimals

[emily @ei42135]

The Mangrove Breakthrough is working hard to restore the future of mangroves by ending mangrove losses, restore half of recent loss (mangroves), double global mangrove protection, and more. #39canimals https://t.co/HUJdqJNXhf
