Social media, and justice for animals

Social media, and justice for animals


Puppy factories and social media 


Facebook has been removed groups, where has been animal selling and other kinds of actions. The problem is claimed to be that those puppy-pages and groups have been involving the rough material, but the thing is that those pages, where is images of nice looking animals are offering a platform for puppy factories. And the persons who have used those pages have claimed to have hundreds of animals in their cellars or otherwise hidden from the public audience.

Sometimes the pet factory would offer puppies to people and claim that everything has been done legally and as otherwise it should be done. But the truth is that those pets are many times left without vaccines, kept in traumatic conditions and have marks for genetic degeneration.  There is claiming that sometimes those animals have even rabies, and they have been aggressive.

The animal, what has no vaccinated can carry many types of illnesses


This thing means that pet factories are not nice to see, but the reason for that the images, what those factories share, are taken from books or just downloaded from the net. And of course, everything seems to be fine, if the images are portraying legal kennel, which means that they are taken at a different place, away from the real puppy factory.

Or the images are taken in the brand new environment. In those cases, the rooms have not even used as the puppy factories, and the dogs or something like that is borrowed from a neighbor. So those images seem very nice. And those people know, how much parents want to please their children, who want puppies.

But many things make those things problematic and one is that this kind of page can be used to track people, who have no money or some kind of social problem. The thing is that the nice-looking puppy-images are causing that children, who don't have friends or money would come to see that material, and then the person, who feels very nice would start to discuss with that victim.

The puppy-groups are a good tool for pedophiles


In those discussions, the person, who might play social workers or police would ask about the social and economic status of the children. And then they would share that data with people, who want to buy a flat or house, but not pay the full price of that thing.

That person can offer the money or some kind of support, and the only thing, what the child must do is just deliver a couple of newspapers. After that, some "neighbor guy" might make use of that child, and cheat the children to share a newspaper or some commercials, and the payment would go straight to that person's pocket. Also, parents who have social problems can sometimes sell the services of their children to other members of their gang.

Could dolphins be smarter than humans?



Could dolphins be smarter than humans?

This is a really good question because the Dophin brains are bigger than human brains, but the rugs of human brains are deeper, and that means that this structure must have meaning when we are thinking about the level of intelligence. But let's go back to business and think about the level of intelligence (1). 

The dolphins and whales might be smarter than most of the animals, and then we are facing one really interesting detail. We haven't even researched the intelligence of the water animals for a very long time. We have taught them the nice tricks, but we haven't researched their ability to solve problems. And then we should ask, what kind of problems we would give those creatures for solving? 

What would be a good problem for the sea animal, what it wants to solve? And what kind of problem would keep it interesting about the case, where it must cooperate with the research team, or research team must cooperate with a dolphin. 

We don't know are dolphins more intelligent than humans, and we cannot ask that thing from dolphins themselves. The description of the intelligence is the level, how the character would solve problems. And that thing might look simple. But there is a thing, what we must understand. 

If we cannot give verbal tests to the test subject, that means we must make some other tests, if we want to find out how fast the creature would solve problems. In this case, there are some kind problems with those tests, where the animal is looking for food from the bags. The dolphin has a sonar system, which allows it to see things, that are hidden in bags, and that's why we must say that dolphin was unfair because it has that sensor, that we don't have. 

Or what if dolphin doesn't like that fish at all? If those creatures would be intelligent, they might be individuals, which means that maybe the dolphin doesn't like some fish species, which might taste different in the mouth of dolphins. 

And dolphin is so different, what we are, that we cannot say, how that creature would solve problems. Does it only use its sonar or does it use some kind of thinking process in those cases? The question is does the high level of intelligence require the ability to communicate with other members of the group? 

And what if the communication between the dolphins is minimum, but those creatures could solve problems? When we are thinking about the intelligence level of dolphins and their language, we are just about 20 years researched the communication of the animals. And during those researches, the sounds of the dolphins have been recorded and then played to other groups. 

Then the researchers have been followed by the reactions of the group, and that thing makes the research very difficult. If we would want to find out, what the communication between the dolphins involves we should research them in the natural environment. And that means that we should have very good equipment, which can operate independently even years and observe those animals even years that way, that they cannot notice it. 

In the natural environment, the language of the animals is acting like human language. It would be rich, and there would be many terms and details. In prison, the language of the animals would be poor, like human beings and they would be stressed.
