I am a college student at UCI currently enrolled in a writing class specializing in researching topics about animal rights.

This perspective is crazy to me. It totally shifted how I view coyotes. #39canimals

[Lamic @LamIC60]

Coyotes are genetically the same to dogs and could breed with each other. They are literally killing dogs.

This makes me so sad. Some people don't understand that taking in a pet requires time, dedication, and care. It's important to do your research before taking on the responsibility of a living being. #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

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

this is a really good point, understanding the root cause can help prevent the senseless deaths of coyotes in impacted communities. #39canimals

[Riya Aggarwal @_riya04]

"Communities that are aware of potential hazards associated with coyotes, including their behaviors, attractant things (like compost), and likely shelter spots, can take strategic control methods to prevent conflicts."

This is so graphic. The whole pig-raising process is disgusting. We wouldn't expose human children to things like this, so why show piglets this display of abuse towards their own mothers? There needs to be change now. #39canimals

Castrations - Hawkeye Sow Centers:
"the piglet’s mothers were now present to witness the abuse... the internal organs of the pigs would come outside of the body accidentally, only for workers to forcefully shove them back in the body and tape up the area (Iowa Pigs)"

Euthanization practices need to be reevaluated. This is so sad. Animals shouldn't be killed for being homeless #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

Aside from being healthy, diets that stray away from red meats are also better for the environment as less resources go towards the livestock. #39canimals

[Katherine Wei @WeiYining85127]

#39canimals There are different levels of plant based diet. The easiest is pesco-vegetarian, a type where you can still enjoy fish and shrimp. This, combined with a whole-food diet can greatly improve your health.

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

this is something I never thought about, you would assume all shelters help dogs, so thank you for sharing this! #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

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

Thank you for sharing! I never knew there were so many benefits to spaying/neutering your pets #39canimals

[Tess S @TMorganS2024]

Be a responsible pet owner. Get your animals spayed/neutered! It stops the problem at the source! #39canimals

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

Thank you for sharing! This article was super informative, and the different perspectives on the issue gave me a lot to think about. #39canimals

[Nataniel Jayaseelan @ironspider_09]

Learn more about the unethical practices of animal shelters regarding euthanasia #39canimals

Things like this are so disheartening to hear about. Things need to change NOW!

[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

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

Understanding speciesism and its roots has helped me understand the dynamic between humans and the organisms around us. The superiority of humans over all other species has led to the exploitation of animals, including lab animals. #39canimals https://t.co/fEJMEhgz0S

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

Those following my research journey, here and in my blog, know about the fate of many lab animals. Understanding that dogs have the foundation of emotional intelligence and empathy prompts us to reconsider how we treat them today.#39canimals https://t.co/ejHCQAYPJx

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

Acknowledging a dog's emotional capabilities enables us to progress towards fostering a more respectful and harmonious coexistence between humans and dogs. #39canimals https://t.co/X4SMbtutIh

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

Did you know that scientists are combining computers with human proteins to eliminate the need for human and animal testing? #TheMoreYouKnow #WhatIlearnedin39C

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

Creating a website was a really cool aspect of Writing 60 this quarter. Understanding the scenes, as well as how to make something visually appealing and easy to navigate, is a new skill that I can proudly say I have now. #WhatIlearnedin39C my site:

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

A key takeaway from this class was how to look for effective peer-reviewed sources! I learned the difference between a literature review and a study. The key is to look for a methods section. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

Learning about an argument's structure and how to use warrants and qualifiers has helped me become a much better argumentative writer. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

In the past 10 weeks, my eyes have been opened to a vast pool of animal rights issues, specifically the treatment and deliberate breeding of beagles for lab use purposes https://t.co/eFpMbRpmF7 #WhatIlearnedin39C

[orangehomecat @orangehomecat]

As the future of science and our understanding of the world expands, society must answer the question of whether it will reconsider the treatment of our furry companions as pets and animals that serve as K9 units, guide dogs, and even lab animals. #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
