Another reason why education and awareness is a big factor in solving the issue! #39canimals

[Marisol @marisol39C]

We need to realize that animals are more complex than we think. However, we are destroying their home through plastic use and deforestation. #39canimals

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

Agreed, there are many small things we can do to help the environment! #39canimals

[Jiahang Zhang @JiahangZhang4]

#39canimals it is interesting that we can help the environment out by simply changing some habits.

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

I had no clue of this issue. This fortifies what we have learned in class, that twitter is a useful component to spread awareness of important issues. #39canimals

[hay 🍒 @htwavy]

this isn’t a joke, we need to bring awareness to this... #39canimals

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

I can't imagine living a life like that #39canimals

[Paola Aguilera @PaolaAg90242513]

Currently there has been great controversy about what Russia was going to decide to do about the belugas and orcas they are holding captive in Russian jails. Check out this tweet to learn more.

There is always the option to try to cut down on your need for these products. Anything helps. #39canimals

[Sabrina Gogna @sabrina39C]

Although this is challenging, everyone should give it a try. This will help heal our planet. #39canimals

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

Its still a major problem, contrary to what some believe! #39canimals

[Marisol @marisol39C]

Although many have advocated on the issues of SeaWorld, many keep attending SeaWorld. So, we need keep raising awareness. #39canimals

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

I completely agree. By educating yourself, you can more effectively bring awareness through the knowledge you gain on the way as well. #39canimals

[Marisol @marisol39C]

Bringing awareness is the first step in addressing an issue which was done by publishing “Eating Up the Amazon.” Quickly after this being published Cargill and McDonald’s responded in defense and stated that they would follow the forest code. #39canimals https://t.co/ALYAcvfxIL

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

This just proves how ignorant these companies can be; acting exclusively on selfish desires. #39canimals

[Phillip Pham @Phillip51816289]

Agreed! What makes it worse is that these marine parks LIE to their workers, telling them that these animals actually live longer in captivity when it is CLEARLY the opposite. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39canimals

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

such a large percentage; so devastating. #39canimals

[Gaurav Mohan @GauravM32131884]

"There was a mean reduction of 87% in gorilla density in the lowland area of Kahuzi-Biega National Park, an average decline of 94% in nest encounter rates at six of 10 sites." #39canimals

Its truly sad how some people believe the captive environment is suitable for a creature which demands much greater

[Paola Aguilera @PaolaAg90242513]

When comparing wild orcas to captive orcas, it is clear to notice the variations between their developing lifestyles, social interactions, and in forms of survival. Orcas should have enough space to swim 100 miles a day, which is 14000 circles around the tank.

#WhatIlearnedin39C This class also introduced me to the field of animal science in general. Prior to the course, I did not believe that much research had been done on any non-human animal.

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

#WhatIlearnedin39C This class also taught me how to build my own portfolio through https://t.co/bhCozYAx87. Here, I can personalize my own website to creatively and neatly portray a project or an information I wish to share.

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

#WhatIlearnedin39C 39c showed me where I can get credible sources, and how to tell if a source was credible or not. Some websites where I can find credible sources are https://t.co/0i9eWlwPHh, and google scholar.

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

#WhatIlearnedin39C In 39c I also learned of the importance of peer review. It is actually very beneficial to not just the person being reviewed, but also the person who is reviewing.

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

#WhatIlearnedin39C 39c taught me the proper way of reading long scientific articles. It is important that you skim over the headings prior to starting the reading at all, as this can help prepare yourself for what you are about to read.

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

In most situations, the performance dolphins which are used at amusement parks or carnivals are given antidepressants to counteract their natural sadness in these living conditions. #39canimals

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

We can also put efforts into supporting one of the many anti-captivity organizations such as SeaShepherd. You can do this by forwardly donating money, by purchasing their merchandise, or by raising awareness of their organization. #39canimals

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

Watch the Dolphin Project's Public Service Announcement relating to the captivity of dolphins to further educate yourself and help the issue. #39canimals https://t.co/Cd8fKX9ujc

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

The first step to solving any problem is becoming educated about the issue. If you are acknowledgeable of the unethical nature of captivity, then you will be able to spread awareness of the issue. #39canimals

[Jessie Olson @Jess9874]

Did you know that wild cetaceans are still being captured for use in theme parks, circuses, and even therapy programs to "help" patients diagnosed with depression, suffering from cancer, or troubled with motor insufficiencies? #39canimals
