article: " Days, or mere seconds, before an earthquake, people have observed strange lights from the ground or hovering in the air. Though they are not fully understood, earthquake lights may be emitted from rocks that are under extreme stress. Earthquake lights have not been reported before all earthquakes, nor has the timing been consistent, but if you hear about strange lights or talk of UFO in your area, you may want to go over your earthquake preparedness plan and make sure your emergency survival kit is stocked. Earthquake lights have been observed as short, blue flames coming up from the ground, as orbs of light that float in the air, or as huge forks of light that look like lightening shooting up from the ground. There are reports of animals, from toads to bees to birds and bears, abandoning their homes or breeding grounds just before an earthquake. It is not understood why animals may sense an oncoming event, possibly because of changes in the electric field or responding to the P-wave, but noticing strange behavior in your pet may give you a heads up that something is about to happen. Chickens may stop laying eggs before an earthquake. If you notice your hens stop laying eggs for no reason, make sure you and your family know what to do in case of an earthquake. Catfish respond violently to changes in electric fields, which may occur before an earthquake. If you are fishing and see a ton of catfish suddenly thrashing around, it is possible an earthquake is on the way. Look around for a safe place away from trees or bridges that might fall on you. Dogs, cats, and other animals can feel an earthquake seconds before it can be detected by humans. If your pet begins acting nervous and erratic, becomes frightened of seemingly nothing and runs to hide, or if your normally calm dog begins to bite and bark, you may want to look around for a place to take cover.Dogs will also howl a lot and loud if there is an earthquake. Though foreshocks may not always occur before an earthquake, and it is impossible to tell which earthquake is the main quake until after the fact, earthquakes tend to happen in clusters. If you experience one or more small earthquakes, there may be another, bigger earthquake on the way. Because it is impossible to predict how long an earthquake will last or its magnitude, when you feel the ground begin to roll, take the appropriate actions to protect yourself from falling debris, depending on where you are (indoors, outdoors, in your car).

article: Corneal ulcers occur when the clear surface of the eye, called the cornea, is severely damaged. Signs that your Boston terrier may have corneal ulcers include the dog rubbing his eye repeatedly and keeping one of his eyes closed at all times. Dogs rub their eyes because corneal ulcers can be very painful and this reduces the pain temporarily. They keep their eyes closed involuntarily to protect the damaged eye. There are two different types of corneal ulcers. One is caused by trauma to the cornea of the dog's eye. This is common in Boston terriers due to the size and prominence of their eyes. The other type of corneal ulcers is caused by a hereditary condition called corneal dystrophy. The second type is particularly hard to treat, in addition to being very painful for your dog. The surface of the eye may lose its shiny appearance. It becomes dull and instead of having unbroken reflections, you may see jagged edges on a reflection, as if looking in a broken mirror. Cataracts are another common eye problem for Boston terriers. Cataracts is a condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and opaque, eliminating the ability for light to get into the eye properly. Cataracts, especially juvenile cataracts that come on very early in a dog's life, can cause the dog to go completely and permanently blind if not caught early. Signs that your Boston terrier might have cataracts include: Blindness: The dog may start finding it difficult to pick up her favorite toy or bump into objects placed in her path. The dog may seem fine on a familiar walk (because she knows the route) but hesitates and hangs back if you visit somewhere she has not visited before. White pupil: When you look directly into the eye you may see a white area at the center of the pupil, a mistiness in the lens, or a white opacity to the lens. Boston terriers can get a variety of other eye problems. These include, but are not limited to, cherry eye, retinal atrophy, glaucoma, proptosis (bulging eyes), and eyelash problems. Because the dog's eye problems can vary so drastically, you should be on the lookout for general changes in your dog's eyes, as well as specific symptoms, which include: General eye irritation: The dog may squint, holding the eye partially closed. He may rub his eyes with his paws or on the ground or furniture around your home. Red eye: The white of the eye may have angry red blood vessels streaking over the surface and have a red haze to them. If your dog has cherry eye, his third lid may be red as well. Watery eye: Soreness causes the eye to water, so the dog's cheek may appear wet from tears. Bulging eyes: Proptosis can cause your dog's eye to move out of place, bulging out of his face. This condition is usually fixed with surgery. Different sized eyes: Glaucoma can cause one, or both, eyes to swell. This is because the fluid of the eye is not draining properly, increasing eye pressure and the size of the eye.

article:
Now that you've learned about the issues and committed yourself to tackling them, it's time to make yourself heard. Start by stating your beliefs about animal rights in influential public forums. For example, sign on to petitions, write letters to decision-makers, and send editorials to newspapers. If there is a hearing about a particular issue, such as the development of wetlands, sign up to give testimony. Animal rights groups need monetary backing to support their good work. Pick an organization that is running campaigns that you believe in and that are garnering measurable results. Most organizations make it easy to donate by having secure, online tools for making one-time or monthly contributions. If you choose a registered nonprofit, your donations are tax-deductible. Join and/or volunteer with a group that's dedicated to animal rights. Membership usually involves paying dues, attending meetings, being on their contact list, and participating in sponsored events and campaigns. Check locally to see if there are organizations that are active in your area. If you'd like to get involved with a major player in the cause, here is a helpful online list of the biggest animal rights groups internationally with links to each: https://speakingofresearch.com/extremism-undone/animal-rights-activists-organizations/. If there's a specific issue, such as factory farming or cosmetics testing, that speaks to you, get involved. There are plenty of ways, large and small, to lend a hand. Some informal ways to get involved include signing a petition, sharing information on social media, or attending a demonstration. Some more formal ways of participating include attending organizing meetings related to the campaign, volunteering your time to a related event or effort, or taking on a leadership role. The best activism takes advantage of the knowledge and experience that you already have. Ask yourself how you can use your education, career, and/or hobbies to help the cause of animal rights. For instance, if you are an artist, do a show or exhibition that engages the public in the cause. If you're a businessperson, set up a seminar to inform people in the industry about why investing in cruelty-free companies is good business.
