“Criminalizing declawing would involve forbidding veterinarians from being able to offer the surgery and Americans who chose to declaw their cat illegally will be financially penalized. This exact practice is already in effect in many countries, such as Israel, where

This cat looks so sad. Please don't declaw your cats

“Declawing involves amputating the first knuckle on a feline’s toes in order to ensure the claw can not grow anymore. This procedure has been banned in 42 countries, including England, France, and Germany, however has yet to be banned in more than 2 U.S states” #39canimals

This is great

[Lily @LilyUCIWriting]

That is so insane

[Lily @LilyUCIWriting]

Interesting to think that other animals are harmed by dog fighting too

“Raccoons, cats, rabbits, and chickens would also be used as bait in the training of fighting dogs”. #39canimals

I didn't know this!

Tigers are mainly Solitary animals, but in zoos and circuses they are often paired or grouped with other tigers. These incompatible groups often lead to fights and injuries (PETA) #39canimals

[Lily @LilyUCIWriting]

These numbers are surprisingly high :(

In 2022, the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act was passed that protects wild and free roaming horses and burros. Continuing to bring awareness to problems will ignite a change! #39canimals

[Lily @LilyUCIWriting]

This is really sad :(

Many dogs that come from puppy mills bring diseases to their families because of the nasty conditions they are kept in. in order to prevent this these dogs must be treated for their physical and psychological wounds. #39canimals

Your writing will improve if you learn to edit and plan over a long period of time instead of writing everything at once over a few days #whatilearnedin39c #39canimals

Social media can 100% be used as an academic research tool if you're willing to do the work to verify your sources. #whatilearnedin39c #39canimals

[Lily @LilyUCIWriting]

It's ok to spam the class tag with cat memes and then act like that in of itself is a personality trait #whatilearnedin39c #39canimals

[Lily @LilyUCIWriting]

Writing is an essential tool not just for school, but for communication. Without being able to write and read critically you cannot formulate and express opinions in a productive way. #whatilearnedin39c #39canimals

Animal activism isn't just about going vegan. It's important to take steps everywhere you can to prevent animal cruelty and advocate for those without a voice #whatilearnedin39c #39canimals

[Neburyport, MA] switched from euthanasia based to SNR population control for their local cat colony of about 300 in 1992. 17 years later, there were no feral cats in the town. SNR works. #39canimals https://t.co/H65oyxV0wZ

[Lily @LilyUCIWriting]

Before implementing [SNR], [an animal shelter] euthanized about 8,500 cats a year. At the end of the study, this number had dropped to only 2,000 euthanizations, with 3/4ths of those euthanizations being deemed medically necessary. SNR works. #39canimals https://t.co/VUbHuWWARt

[Lily @LilyUCIWriting]

only 17% of cats turned over to one shelter for euthanasia were relinquished for reasons related to medical conditions or old age #39canimals
