class response question about AnimalsTaiwan

The purpose of this group is that they are a volunteer group dedicated to improving the livelihood and treatment of animals in Taiwan. They aim to find solutions for the problem of pet overpopulation through educational activities, adoption efforts and outreach programs. They rescues sick, injured, and young strays, rehabilitate them, vaccinate them, deseed them, and try to find them permanent, caring homes.
The recent post is about the Silk Palace banquet hall in Taipei from serving shark’s fin. The US-based Humane Society International (HSI) and the Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan (EAST) have asked Taiwanese authorities to stop serving. The report mentioned that shark’s fin is very cruel because after cutting off shark’s fin, fishermen throw sharks back into the sea to let them bleed to death. Killing sharks for shark’s fin will deplete shark populations and harm marine ecology. It also mentioned that serving shark’s fin at the Silk Palace damages Taiwan’s international image. So we should stop to eat shark’s fin to let the government stop sale shark’s fin to maintain our image in the world.

All my families are nice to stray dogs or cats, we always feed them. Furthermore, we always bring the dog foods with us when we see the dogs or cats we can feed them instead. We spent so much money on feeding them, but I always happy to see they eating the food which I give them.

It's always nice to see and hear about people taking care of stra animals.

I noticed you are missing a lot of posts concerning animal rights. You are missing the response to whale wars, the response to the Taipei Times article, and all of the classwork for last week (just to name a few). You should set aside some time to get caught up or else you may get too far behind to ever make it back.
