Writing 60! Learning about research in animal science and becoming an active voice about animal-related issues

@avascrows Crows are so intelligent! I enjoyed learning about their social behaviors and how they are capable of solving puzzles.

@Sofiawithaf2 Dogs are capable of so much! They truly are our loyal partner.

@tiffanynguyenUC Social media is a super powerful tool! Using TwitterX to advocate for our animals helped me learn about the different problems animals face in this world.

@tiffanynguyenUC Animals are truly fascinating creatures! Learning about them has taught me just how intelligent they are and how they experience similar behaviors to us.

@shawnllee This is super important! Using various media bases to find scholarly sources is a significant skill to have.

Last, WR60 has taught me how to advocate for animal rights. By utilizing the media, blogging, and communicating with other advocates, we can effectively bring awareness to the inhumane treatment these animals go through. #WhatIlearnedinWR60

Fourth, WR60 has taught me how to utilize different writing styles to present information. Specifically, writing the Scicomm article taught me how to translate complex scientific information into a simple, narrative-like article. #WhatIlearnedinWR60

Third, WR60 has taught me how to utilize the media to help with research. Specifically, TwitterX allowed me to connect with other scientists to see what research, labs, and studies they have accomplished to help gather information for my projects. #WhatIlearnedinWR60

The second thing I learned was the problems dogs face in society and other animals. I was unaware of the amount of suffering and hatred some of these animals go through. As a result, I've become more aware of what could be done to help support these animals. #WhatIlearnedinWR60

[Giselle Gin @gin_giselle]

The first thing I learned in WR60 was how intelligent dogs are. I never realized how dogs can save lives, specifically, how they can detect sicknesses in their owners. This shocked me as I read many stories about dogs being heroes during my research. #WhatIlearnedinWR60

Another counterargument is that people believe buying from a puppy mill is cheaper but in reality, they are more expensive. Shelter dogs are typically up to date with vaccinations while puppy mill dogs aren't, eventually costing more. #UCanimals https://t.co/x58P1xkIvQ

One counterargument is that people believe shelter dogs are aggressive and unhealthy in comparison to the purebred dogs at puppy mills. In reality, shelter dogs are far more healthier than puppy mill dogs. #UCanimals

A third solution to this problem is to advocate for stricter laws regarding animal welfare rights. By doing so, these puppy mills can be put to an end and the adoption from shelters will increase. #UCanimals

Another solution is to stop shopping at pet stores. Most puppies that are being sold in the pet stores are from puppy mills. The more people adopt from shelters, these pet stores can be put out of business. #UCanimals

One possible solution to stop puppy mills and encourage people to adopt from shelters is bringing awareness to your community. Not many people know the dangers and conditions dogs are put through in puppy mills. #UCanimals

@Dereklzs888 This is super important! Many people leave their pets outside in coyote-populated places where the chances of them getting attacked are high.

[Giselle Gin @gin_giselle]

@tiffanynguyenUC This is super important! It's never too late to regulate climate change.

[Giselle Gin @gin_giselle]

@Dereklzs888 This is a great solution! We must respect animals' territories so that they can respect ours.

Here is a picture of CA and the location of shelters that report dog euthanizations. Just within CA, thousands of dogs aren't getting adopted causing them to get euthanized. #Ucanimals

Here is a picture of an inbred pedigree dog. Inbred dogs are prone to developing medical conditions where they may have to deal with a lifetime of suffering. #Ucanimals
