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
Thank you for immense response to my tweet, from around the world, expressing your thoughts about the death of #FransdeWaal. Here's what I wrote in 2017 about Mama Chimpanzee so well known to us through his decades of work on animal cognition and emotion. https://t.co/4G4nYKkzkn

I recently found that horses are often mistreated in racing or rodeos when their riders pull too hard on their flanks. The FEI has a rule that disqualifies riders if any blood is found after competin, but it’s still a common occurrence.

Prior to taking WR60, I had never written an annotated bibliograph. Not only did I learn how to, but I also learned how much it helps with understanding your sources and how they connect to each other.
I also researched the ethics of fur farming! I was super shocked to learn about how many animals are killed for fur for fashion each year. #39canimals#WhatIlearnedin39c
This is a pretty helpful visual because I think a lot of people hear plant based and assume that there are no other options outside of eating vegetarian. #39canimals
#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.

I learned from my research that red fox vocalisations are actually pretty rare and that there main form of communication is through smell!

I learned that during many holidays/celebrations (Valentine’s, birthdays, etc), a lot of balloons or plastic decorations end up in the ocean, which is terrible for ocean animals. Throw away your plastic decoration please!

I didn’t realize how much social media can play a role in advocacy, but these platforms have high engagement and can reach many people with just one picture. Social media, especially twitter (X) is a great tool!
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
Yay!! The ECI campaign got the “EU Commission [to] put forward a proposal to potentially ban fur farming and the sale of farmed fur products within the European market or other alternative solutions on December 7, 2023.” #39canimals
We need “a ban that prohibits both fur farming as well as the use of real fur for sales or trade (imports)… global solution to address the ethical and environmental challenges posed by the fur industry.”
Read this campaign from the RSPCA for more info!
