What are you doing on a scanner?
Have you seen a cat on a scanner before? Well, @cocopangpang on TikTok you can see a video of a white cat sitting on a scanner. In the introduction phase the video starts by a white cat playing on a scanner. Then a girl filming says "Oh my god, what are you doing on a scanner?" to the cat. Right at that moment, the cat acts like nothing is happening by covering the scanner with her feet and an innocent look towards the camera. Then the camera shutter sound triggers three images from the scanner. Each image shows different looks of the cat on a scanner where the image above shows the second image from the video. The other two images are different from the one above. You can visit the video though the link here. (https://www.tiktok.com/@cocopangpang/video/6839751024983510277)

TikToking Cat: @cocopangpang
Since June 6th 2020 my cat Coco Pang Pang made a TikTok account while the pandemic caused us to spend most of our time at home. We started the account to have fun and try out trendy challenges on TikTok. Her first video as about a trend called "Don't be ugly." The video starts by showing something around what you want to show, in our cause, Coco. Then the video captures Coco when the audio says "OH OMG!!!!" The video is supposed to show how Coco is not ugly while making others think she is cute in the video. We had 1669 views with 154 likes and 7 comments. I felt happy reading comments saying Coco is adorable, love it, aww, you are not ugly, and you are cute. With a great start on our first post, we decided to post videos of TikTok challenges every day. In only three days we reached 1000 followers, thousands of likes and comments. As the numbers were overwhelming, we tried out best make others laugh with great contents. During that time our favorite video was film which is called "Square Tape Challenge." This challenge is about making a square shape on the ground with tape. Then watching how Coco reacts to the square tape. As cats tend to sit in boxes and square spaces, the video is supposed to capture the cat sit inside the square tape pattern on the ground. As I was filming the video on TikTok, Coco was sitting outside the box during the intro part of the video. then all of a sudden Coco synchronized with the audio and moved towards the square tape at a perfect timing. I was surprized how she moved and sat perfectly in the square tape. It almost seemed unreal. This video had 556 thousand (556K) views, 44.2k likes and 350 comments. It was a surreal experience. I felt the love and affection of TikTokers viewing my video which made me want to make better contents every time I post. After a couple of weeks of TikToking we were able to laugh, enjoy and stay bright at our house. Coco was in a bright mood by my side to try out new things. She got active, healthier and started to pose towards the camera. Nowadays it seems like Coco wants to film more videos to post than me. We are still TikToking on a daily basis on a goal to make people smile. This is an introduction to our future stores I will share here. If you enjoyed it or wanted to check out more please visit @cocopangpang at TikTok. Hopefully it will make you smile and make your day a little bit more brighter.

The Zoo and Aquarium Community Deserves Better: An Open Letter to All Social Media Outlets
To All Admins of Various Social Media Outlets, I am writing this open to letter to you all to express my concerns about how animal rights extremists are using various social media sites as a platform to conduct cyber attacks on the zoological community and how very little to no action has to been taken to crack down on the admins of the animal rights-based pages that instruct their followers to commit awful acts of cyberbullying since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

PETA Breaks The Internet?
While the COVID-19 Pandemic has forced many zoos and aquariums to stay closed to the public until it is contained, many animal care professionals continue to care for the animals that call these facilities “home”. They often update people on how the animals are doing, share some facts about their natural history, and even demonstrating how they care for them through husbandry and training sessions. While many are praising these people as “heroes” to both people and animals alike, there are some who don’t see it like that at all.

Due to this, dogs have not only functioned as a best friend, but as a type of therapy for humans.
