This is really sad. People should really consider all the responsibilities of owning a dog before adopting one. #39canimals

#39canimals There are 10 main reasons for the abandonment of dogs: moving, cost of pet maintenance, landlord issues, no time for a pet, inadequate facilities, too many pets at home, pet illness, personal problems, biting, and no home for litter mates.

It's sad to see humans distance themselves from animals for being "dumb" then use the ones they deem "intelligent" for entertainment. #39canimals

"SeaWorld is abusing the high intelligence that dolphins have so they can perform tricks for the audience." #39canimals

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

It's really sad that certain dogs are more likely to be euthanized just for their appearance. #39canimals

[lota wang @LotaWang]

#39canimals One of the serious problems of stray dogs is that the risk of euthanasia increased with age for mixed-breed dogs, but not for purebred dogs.

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

I completely agree. I don't think I will ever understand they enjoyment behind killing an animal for fun. #39canimals

"These innocent elephants are being killed every day for sport, for their tusks, for profit. Elephants are animals that can feel pain and suffering, yet, the humans who hunt them disregard that fact and continue to maliciously kill them without a thought." #39canimals

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

The exotic pet trade is really cruel. Animals should not be collected like rare trinkets. #39canimals

[Q @qinhan_zhou]

The third strategy is improving public awareness and environmental education. Poaching and trafficking for bushmeat and exotic pets are one of the biggest threats chimpanzees face. #39canimals

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

Raising awareness is a really great tool! The more people know about the issue, the less it will continue to be supported. #39canimals

[Fiona Wu @fionaw39c]

"According to [The Dolphin Project], the most effective ways to protect dolphins and orcas are to raise awareness and sign petitions." #39canimals

This is really cool! I always wondered what the purpose of yawning was, even in humans. #39canimals

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

I completely agree! It's incredibly cruel to profit off of and use animals for entertainment. #39canimals

[Jhanavi @Jhanavi50940078]

Animals should never perform for our entertainment, they belong in their own habitats #39canimals

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

One simple action like littering can lead to so many different issues. This is a great reminder why we should pick up trash and stop littering. #39canimals

[Darren Wittry @WittryDarren]

One way to reduce raptor collisions with traffic is to keep our streets clean. Food waste on the streets attracts rodents and other hungry animals, which then encourages raptors to hunt along busy streets.

This is a really innovative way to keep the magic of circuses alive while still keeping the animals in mind! #39canimals

[Jhanavi @Jhanavi50940078]

Circus Roncalli has become famous for being the first circus to use holograms instead of using wild animals in their acts, and they have received positive responses and plenty of attention from around the world. #39canimals

Something I have learned while designing my website is that colors play a huge role in the way your message is conveyed. Bright, bold colors make what you write seem urgent while earthy, muted tones make your purpose more conservation driven and down-to-earth. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

When designing my website, I have learned that more is not always better. White space is a really important tool that you can use to break up your text. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

This quarter, I've been learning how to use other forms of punctuation: colon, semicolon, dash. They have actually been super useful and a bonus is that it elevates my writing! #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

This quarter, I learned that it can be really helpful to look for something to annotate while reading. It makes understanding the text much easier! #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

Social media is a really useful tool to begin your research with. It introduces you to the topic without overwhelming you. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

Instead of killing pigeons, an alternative, more humane method of population control cities can implement is an avian birth control called OvoControl. #39canimals

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

Many resort to pigeon shooting as a means of population control. This method, however, is not only inhumane, but ineffective. #39canimals

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

Pigeons are assigned to negative connotations such as disease, filth, and infestation; traits that are present in all animals including humans, when really they should be known for being extremely complex animals. #39canimals

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

Poisoning not only causes a painful death for pigeons. It can also cause issues after their death. #39canimals

https://t.co/tQbLlpOjPI

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

In contrast to Avitrol Corporation’s description of the poison as “humane bird control,” bystanders have observed pigeons to convulse, twitch violently, gasp for air, and flap their wings in distress before their deaths. #39canimals
