April Extra Post

April!!!

This is the month that Bunny Bunch, isn't their favorite month because its Easter time. This is where most of the bunnies are sold to people as little as five to ten bucks and think they can care for the animal. But this is just wrong because the people selling the  bunnies, the bunnies are kept in small cages because they see them so small, and can't do anything about it. Bunny Bunch is where they rescue animals during Easter time, they go under cover. 

Blog 20: Exit Interview

Content:

(1) What is your essential question and answers?  What is your best answer and why?

My EQ is, What is the most important reason a person should patronize No-Kill Rescue Shelters over Traditional Shelters?

My three answers are:

No-Kill Rescue Shelters, rescue animals that would be euthanized at traditional shelters.
No-Kill Rescue Shelters rehabilitate animals that could be good pets.
No -Kill Rescue Shelters support the wider mission of valuing all life.

My best answer is:
No-Kill Rescue Shelters, rescue animals that would be euthanized at traditional shelters, because people want to support the shelter that are not going to take the animals life just because there isn't enough room. Also these animals are friends they bring companionship to the owner when they are feeling upset, they are always there to help us out. 

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?

It took me  time, to decide my best answer because it is such a complicated topic and essential question because it has so many possible answer to both no-kill and traditional shelters it just has similar information to both sides.  But at the end I saw that No-kill do not kill for room or just because the other shelters see the other dogs sick they have to put them down. No-kill do not put them down because they deserve a second chance. 

 

(3) What problems did you face?  How did you resolve them?

I faced many problems, with my answers because it would give me information. I also faced some problems with my last interview,  I thought I wouldn't be able to interview Caroline because I send her a message saying are you still going to be available to talk and she never responded. I solve this by going to the shelter and waiting for her, until I finally saw her and ask her and she said oh yeah I have time.

 

(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?

My two significant sources were my mentor Joanne/interviews.

My mentor Joanne because she guide me throughout my project and I had a good experience it made me realize maybe I don't want to study for vet tech. My interviews were really helpful because I got my two answers from them.

Be prepared with evidence and specific examples to support any response.  It is also significant to cite sources as you explain.

Blod 19: Independent Component 2

Content:  

LITERAL

a.) I, Elizabeth Valle, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

b.) I did extra mentorship, at Bunny Bunch with my mentor Joanne.

d.) I did extra mentorship, I went to Bunny Bunch, and helped out with the shelter. When I would go, I would clean the cages, because it is important that the cages are clean so the animals wont get sick. I would change the water and clean the bowls. I would also clean litter boxes because it is important to keep the animal place clean. I would put hay, it is important that the rabbit eats hay, for its daily health. And what I like the most, was giving them veggies because it a treat for them and they love it. I would also observe how each bunny acts, and see if they were sick, or if something is wrong, I would tell my mentor or someone that was there to see if the animal was sick. 

INTERPRETIVE 

Here are some photos on what I did during my mentorship.

Those are some water bottles that I use to fill the bowl.

 I get the water bowls and dump it, then clean it with a paper towl.

 This where, we have to dump the water out.

 That is me helping out

 I clean litter boxes

 These cages have bunnies in, these bunnies were rescued from high kill shelter and breeders, they came in bad conditions and are now recovering, There were about 25 to 30 bunnies rescued that day.

 These sheets shows some day that I came in to do mentorship.

 Just for fun I got a packet, how an animals is determine bad. Or how they are scared and might attack.

 

 

APPLIED

How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped. 

-My component help me answer my EQ, because it showed me, how each shelter works differently because each founder or person run it different, also depending on the city. There are different laws that I found out. For dogs and cats they have to be neuter to reduce the population or the reduce the population. It also proved that they rescued sick and injured animals because I saw how my mentor and Caroline brought them in, they were in bad condition, because they were rescue from a shelter that they weren't properly taken care of. It is also made me realize that how important is to help each shelter even though if its a No kill or a traditional shelter.
