- just trying to help some animals out by learning and advocating - currently interested in the impacts of human interference in dog breeding - #39canimals

#WhatIlearnedin39C social media is a great tool to utilize when advocating. Through social media I was exposed to so many ethical issues that animals face, and was able to spread these topics through various tweets/retweets. #39canimals

[maddy @maddy_w39]

#WhatIlearnedin39C the importance of ethos when writing. Ethos (an establishment of a writer's credibility) can be created for a work through a multitude of ways. One of which being the use of reliable sources. #39canimals

[maddy @maddy_w39]

#WhatIlearnedin39C how to use my time more efficiently when researching by utilizing tools to restrict my searches and skim reading to determine if the source applies to your research topic. #39canimals

[maddy @maddy_w39]

#WhatIlearnedin39C the importance of peer review for not only the work you are reviewing, but also your own! While reading works from an outside perspective you are able to reflect on possible improvements you could make to your own work. #39canimals

[maddy @maddy_w39]

#WhatIlearnedin39C the importance of reflections in the learning process which I demonstrated in blogs I posted multiple times a week. Feel free to check them out! https://t.co/flPUbVVhA8

This is great! Glad 12 more pesticides are being banned to better protect bees! #39canimals

So true speciesism is such an awful thing that needs to end. #39canimals

[Tong @Tongz97]

We are all related. All species are related biologically and through evolution and instead of treating the other species like objects, we should treat them as our evolutionary cousins as our kindred. #39canimals

Didn't know that a lack of breeding regulations also applied to reptiles too!#39canimals

[Lily Li @LilyLi33036576]

#39canimals One of the aspect of the major reformation of the reptile pet industry is captive breeding reform. Currently breeders for retiles don't have that much regulation, many times animals are abuses or neglected, and often times many die, (Martin).

[maddy @maddy_w39]

Wow these regulations in Africa need to be strengthened tremendously to prevent trophy hunting! #39canimals

[maddy @maddy_w39]

Habitat loss is a drastic issue and needs to be addressed! #39canimals

[Marisol @marisol39C]

Habitat loss due to deforestation is a major issue for non-human primates and other animals that live in the forest; only 30% of the world consist of forest. #39canimals https://t.co/5E3FiKuL1Q

[maddy @maddy_w39]

So sad that city expansion has such negative impacts. #39canimals

[maddy @maddy_w39]

Wow these health issues need could be addressed immediately! #39canimals

[Jiahang Zhang @JiahangZhang4]

To reduce the health issue of unbalanced nutrition and the stereotypical behavior of polar bears, they need to provide ice blocks with food, whole cucumbers or melons, branches, honey, ketchup or mayonnaise smeared in or on traffic cones or buckets, food which floats.#39canimals

[maddy @maddy_w39]

Hopefully this can be properly addressed and newly discovered animals can receive proper protections. #39canimals

[Lily Li @LilyLi33036576]

#39canimals The biggest flaw in the current legislation is that CITES only protects animals that have been research and evaluated; if an animal is newly discovered, not research enough, or just on a backlog behind other animals waiting to be published they are not protected,

[maddy @maddy_w39]

Wow 40% is such a high number thats awful! #39canimals

[martle @martle6]

In California, parasites and infectious disease cause more than 40% of sea otter deaths. #39canimals

Wow there really needs to be more protections for wolves! #39canimals

[Joanne Tran @Ello_Jo_39C]

(1/2)“Unperturbed by legal protections, humans still continue to persecute wolves, which over the past few decades, has been revealed as the main cause of wolf mortality” -from an essay I had written for my 39C research class #39canimals

There are plenty of organizations and programs to help teach future dog owners what questions to ask when choosing a puppy, so that they avoid buying from an irresponsible breeder/ensure the puppy is healthy happy & well-socialized. #39canimals

[maddy @maddy_w39]

The highest rated being a “revision of registration rules to prevent the registration of the offspring of any mating between first-degree & 2nd-degree relatives & open stud books to allow for more frequent introduction of genetic material into established breeds.” #39canimals

[maddy @maddy_w39]

A survey of dog welfare/university-based experts, geneticists, & veterinarians details a number of plausible solutions to the issue of selective breeding. #39canimals

Did you know that the inherited diseases with the greatest impact on purebreds are “collie eye anomaly, hip dysplasia (particularly in bull mastiffs, Newfoundlands, German shepherd dogs & golden retrievers), & entropion in bulldogs." #39canimals
