I CANNOT emphasize this enough! Helping animals is not only the right thing to do, but also the best for our environment #39canimals

[Erika C @erika0037642360]

The best solution to addressing vehicle collisions involves building of animal underpasses beneath major roads. This allows panthers to develop home ranges that are unobstructed by roads. Most importantly, it protects all animals in the Florida ecosystem from vehicles #39canimals

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

This is such a mindful thought! #39canimals

[Emma Trakh @trakhemma]

Did you know that out of feeling compassion for our homeless furry friends, we sometimes force them into situations that may be counterproductive to ensuring their well-being? Always consider the conditions of dog shelters near you. #39canimals

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

Why is hunting still a think? Genuinely asking #39canimals

[Saachi Shah @SaachiShah44615]

"It is unfortunate to read in daily news articles that 9 gray wolves were killed in just the last 3 months of 2023, the majority of which were due to illegal hunting by humans". This number is so recent, it is a shame to humanity #39canimals

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

I had no idea tourism could help such as cause, I will make a note for the future #39canimals

[frostbite @frostbite2024]

#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!

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

I also made a similar post! A mixture of both approaches is best fs #39canimals

[Emma Trakh @trakhemma]

There are many ways to tackle an issue you're passionate about (i.e. advocating for the proper conditions of dog shelters or environmentalism). It's necessary to think through a global and grassroots framework to assess actions that are possible for you to engage in. #39canimals

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

Omg that's such a sad picture :( idk how people can have no empathy to any animal #39canimals

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

This quarter, I researched animal empathy. The idea that dogs are able to empathize with other organisms is evidence that they recognize the pain that they and their peers go through when subjected to things like animal testing and horrible living conditions. #39canimals

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

Adopt don't buy! Be responsible pet owners and also neuter your pets #39canimals

[Tess S @TMorganS2024]

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

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

I made a similar post not too long ago! Love how awareness is spreading on the issue #39canimals

[吉 @j2702244373327]

The Humane Society of the United States is one of the most effective animal welfare organization, focusing on ending any animal suffering. It is exactly their rescue team who removed nearly 4,000 beagles from animal testing laboratories.

Omg this is so sad.. If you can't take care of a pet in the future be responsible and don't adopt one at all!#39canimals

[Tess S @TMorganS2024]

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

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

This statistic is shocking to me since I have hardly seen any strays. I'm glad that I know the reality now...#39canimals

[Tess S @TMorganS2024]

Everyone talks about America's homeless population crisis, but let's talk about America's dog overpopulation crisis. Homeless dogs outnumber homeless people 5 to 1. #39canimals

Prior to taking Writing 60, I had a slight idea on how to write a literature review. However, this course has taught me how to properly write an effective and academic way of writing. #WhatIlearnedin39C
#39canimals

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

Writing my advocacy paper for Writing 60 was a struggle. I had to learn how to research properly before even writing the paper. I especially found it tedious to cite so often between my words, but it is a skill I am now able to use. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

During my research for Writing 60, I stumbled upon the @beaglefreedom. I found it so cool how there are organizations selflessly dedicated to improving the lives of non-human species #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

While researching for my two papers for Writing 60, I found out that beagles came from pack hunting hounds used in England and France! #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

Taking Writing 60 @UCI taught me how and why research writing is important. The theme of the course I took focused on animal rights issues, and how we can write as unbiased as possible when writing a literature review on a topic we are so passionate about. #WhatIlearnedin39C

"The Beagle Freedom Bill may be one of the most effective solutions for solving the beagle crisis"- this talking about a global solution regarding beagle welfare 🐕‍🦺#39canimals #AnimalWelfare for more info visit https://t.co/frPPfDI2be

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

Solving animal issues need a mix of both global and grassroots movements🫂 In my beagle essay I quote, "triumph of individualism and the celebration of increasing inequality” to reason why today's political climate needs grassroots #39canimals

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

Remember the Envigo case? I wrote an essay regarding beagle issues and I discuss how "the captivity, breeding, and experimentation of beagles often go hand in hand". #39canimals #Researchpaper

[Maria Martinez @hotsphere444]

"...research facilities need a stable source of test subjects, puppy mills [exist] for the sole purpose of experimentation"- this is another quote from my beagle essay ✍️ regarding problems they face today! #39canimals info found below
