I learned how easy it is to be an advocate for issues that are important to you. Whether it's animals, environment, politics, or societal changes, a simple retweet can be the start. Give it a try, every single perosn makes a difference:) #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

I learned the recent rise in legislative efforts by local and state governments against puppy mills, and how the puppy mill problem didn’t see true change until much recently. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

I learned about the disgusting and harsh life puppy mill dogs live through, in their crammed, feces and disease ridden cages. #WhatIlearnedin39C

I learned how animal welfare and science research organizations use Twitter to spread awareness of their effort and findings. Seeing this type of advocacy on social media was awesome to take part in. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

I learned how to better manage my time, assignments, and how to reserve time for intentional and intense research. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

Change through legislation is only possible through change locally. Anti-#puppymill orgs advocate that true change begins with communities coming together against puppy mills. @HumaneSociety made a list of ways individuals can help the cause #39canimals https://t.co/a7pqIob5Rn

This loophole, is where out of state mills disguised themselves as dog rescue organizations, thus allowing them to sell their puppies to California pet stores, who then sell those puppies to consumers.

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

The California bill AB-2152 is heavily praised by multiple animal welfare organizations to have closed all loopholes that allowed for #puppymill dogs to be sold in pet stores. #39canimals https://t.co/U0KRhDFMOR

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

@HumaneSociety is one of the leading organizations when it comes to efforts being made against #puppymills, as it is one of six of their “Big Fights” since 1954! #39canimals

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

Because of #puppymills' horrid conditions, dogs are often sold to pet stores or the consumer themselves with a variety of health issues, that’s if the dog can make it alive to that point. #39canimals

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

Puppy mills, in short, are the equivalent of a cash crop farm, where the cash crop are dogs themselves, very fitting when taking account of the history of #puppymills in the United States. #39canimals

Amazing infographic! This definitely help me learn much more about the challenges chimps are facing. I hope more can learn and spread awareness on these issues!! #39canimals

[Elena Marie Valladares @ElenaMValla1]

Hey everyone! Here's some info about chimpanzees and the reasons why they are endangered. I would greatly appreciate you reading it and sharing your thoughts! #39canimals #chimpanzees #savethechimps

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

These animals deserve their fair and deserved chance at a peaceful life. This is possible!! #39canimals

[Om Panda @OmPandaUCI]

The idea of retiring killer whales and other cetaceans is something marine parks like SeaWorld want you to think is impossible. But it isn't. The IMMP has teamed up with The Whale Sanctuary Project to prove that a retirement is an option for captive killer whales. #39canimals

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

Such an amazing interview! #39canimals

[Kayla Dao Seidler @kaylaseidler]

I learned what species is and how morality plays a role in animal ethics. #WhatIlearnedin39C

More need to be done to protect chimps! These numbers are extremely alarming. #39canimals

[Giselle Huerta @GiselleHuerta16]

In the beginning of the 20th century there were millions of chimpanzees in the wild. Now there are roughly around 172,000; Due to many factors the main two being deforestation and hunting. Due to this chimps have disappeared from 4 African countries #39canimals #savethechimps

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

Terrorist and criminal organizations becoming involved in this issue is a testament of how much more global government needed to and still need to do to protect wildlife. #39canimals

[Emiliano Jr. Alanis @EmilianoJrA75]

Preventing poachers from illegally killing elephants has become "increasingly difficult as many of them are a part of terrorist groups and organized crime operations typically armed with advanced weaponry (“Elephants and the Ivory Trade.”)." #39canimals

They deserve their fair share of peace in life! #39canimals

[Angelica Flores Valdivia @Angelif5_]

Retired chimpanzees need to be sent off to sanctuary homes, away from any more experiments! #39canimals

[Vicente Sandoval Jr. @vicentjs23]

The percentage is scared when you start to theorize the actual number of parrots would be smuggled:/ #39canimals

[Julia Eng @AnimalEthics39C]

Researchers found that estimations of the severity of wildlife trafficking of parrots in Venezuela are an underestimation since their findings “indicate that only 2-20% of parrot trade is detected by enforcement patrols” (Sánchez-Mercado 81). #39canimals

I hope these laws help save and protect the scarlet macaws! #39canimals

[Julia Eng @AnimalEthics39C]

In 2019, the U.S. FWS added scarlet macaws to the Endangered Species Act, and they are protected by CITES since 1985. These laws ensure that scarlet macaws are protected against the illegal international wildlife trade. #39canimals

I didn't know that and that's so cool! Livestock farmers will definitely find this useful! #39canimals
