Intro: Thesis, main idea and argument.
Reasons:
1. Initial vet care is paid for when you adopt a pet from a rescue.
2. By adopting, you are not supporting the cruel conditions of puppy/kitten mills.
3. You save the life of an animal that would otherwise be euthanized for the mere reason of there being not enough space for them.
Concede:
1. “Unnecessary” background checks. (These are done in order to ensure the safety of the animal. The adoptee is essentially another life that is being put into your care and as the owner you must keep them safe.)
2. Shelters and rescues are abused pets. (Many of the pets left in the care of shelters and rescues are given up by their family due to sickness, inability to care for them and/or old age.)
3. Shelters/rescues
Do animals have the right to a certain quality of life? How would your views change if our cooks got treated the same way cattle and poultry do? How would you feel about them being beaten and brought to their knees just to be detained to know how to cook todays specials? You might think that the food industry has no issues and no faults behind their tasty food, but when you open up the meat curtain, there is a different kind of world out there that is cruel and inhumane. In Robert Kenner’s 2008 film, Food, Inc., He shows the conditions that cows, chickens, and pigs have to live in. The dark and closeted homes in which the animals are closely compacted together and eating, sleeping, and walking in their own manure. As a person who would consider themselves an animal rights activist, most people would agree that the food industry treats their animals like products instead of living things.
Over the past couple of years, animal rescues have been gaining popularity and support from all sorts of pet lovers. Basically what rescues do is take in animals and adopt them out to loving homes. Local animal shelters can only provide minimal support for pets needing homes. As a result euthanasia is a unfortunate reality of overpopulated shelters. With the over population of shelters such as the SPCA, rescue organizations are many pets only and last chance at a new beginning.
The North Shore Animal League will first discuss animal rights and how animal abuse and homelessness is at an all-time high today among animals. There will also be various pictures and statistics shown to offer the audience insight on which dog and cat breeds are the most abused and homeless. For example, due to their small size and temperament with people Chihuahuas are among one of the most abused and homeless dog breeds. The organization will then discuss their plan to remedy the issue of animal abuse and homelessness by opening up animal shelters in urban areas in Staten Island and Brooklyn to lower animal abuse and homelessness. These shelters will provide the animal’s food, water, and medicine, which are the main necessities for them to survive. By opening these new shelters, it will ensure the animal’s safety and well-being until people are ready to adopt and bring them home.
One in fifty-six kids are abused and sixty-one percent of children are forgotten about (Dreyfus). Do you not like the ASPCA animal abuse commercial well there are kids out there just like those dogs and cats that you see in the commercial. There are parents out there that have kids at a young age and don’t take care of them. They neglect them and abuse them if they are throwing a fit or at older ages not listening to the parents. Or the parent is addicted to drugs or they are an alcoholic. I have learned that there a lot of people think that there should be classes that parents should take. The information that I have found has helped me even more believe that there should be classes for the parents. Personally I have some cousins that their
Some of the shelters in California are amazing, at Sonoma County’s animal shelter has new policies for the crowded conditions and are working to reduce the number of healthy animal’s that are killed. Dog and cat owners who may want to give up their pets have to make an appointment with the shelter staff to discuss alternatives. Healthy animals will be taken in only if the space is available, otherwise the owners must wait. According to one source, “Most public shelters have around 393,000 cats that enter public shelters and it increased to 25,000. About 278,000 cats were killed in shelters in
Specific Purpose: To persuade my students to volunteer and train a dog for 4 Paws University
Title: The Reason Behind Our Countries Homeless Cats and Dogs Specific Purpose: To inform about the three reasons why there is a large amount of homeless cats and dogs in the U.S. Thesis: Sadly, there are just over 70 million homeless dogs and cats in America and with the knowledge given today, there is a number of facts that can help people become more aware of the problem. Introduction: Attention Getter: Who of you here have a cat or a dog? How about 45 cats or dogs?
Most of you probably have a pet of your own. Maybe a dog named Max or a cat named Oliver. Could you imagine seeing them in terrible pain? I honestly don't think there will be one student in this class that would volunteer to let their own pet be tortured for any reason. Am I wrong?
So, are you one of those regular shoppers that go into the supermarket looking for the best deal for the lowest price? I wonder if it has ever crossed your mind about what sort of eggs you are buying, wether its free range or cage, but my other question to you is; do you really know what conditions these hens are living in? Well maybe the information below will help change your mind next time you go shopping!
Kaitlin Pleasant American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to do at least one of the following: give a monthly donation, a one-time donation, gifts, food, or toys to the animals apart of the ASPCA. Or adopt a pet from the ASPCA, to advocate, report animal cruelty, volunteer, foster a pet, and spay, neuter their own pet. Central Idea: My goal is to inform the audience about animal cruelty to persuade my audience to donate or take action to help prevent and save animals affected by abuse.
How Would You Like It? Your sitting down to dinner; it’s a home cooked meal. There are sides of mashed potatoes, green beans, yams, and macaroni and cheese. Your drink of choice being soda, and for dessert ice cream.
Specific Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to motivate my audience by discussing the problems with pets not being spayed and neutered, offering solutions to the problems, and visualizing a society in which these problems are surrounding us. INTRODUCTION: Attention Step: How many of you look away or change the channel when the ASPCA commercials with Sarah McClaughlin come on?
It reeked of ammonia, tears of the unwanted, waiting, and confused. As soon as you would step in, the spirit of your very being shuddered- your overwhelming sensitivity and urge to comfort (no matter how strong and ‘manly’ you may think you are) came into place. The thought of walking out would just be too much to handle despite how greatly you dreaded entering not even seconds before. All you could do was continue forward and hope you can muster up enough self-control to not take every one of them home with you, to a brighter life.
Hello, Asia Perkins, I agree with you because on television we see or hear studies are being conducted to benefit the humans all the time. I don't see or hear any studies being conducted on animals to benefit the animals. People don't recognize that animals have the same problems we have like cancer or back problems. I'm not saying neither one is important but why not help put out animal studies that can benefit the animals too. I also come across a news article about an experiment that was conducted on a sick individual and the experiment was a success
Imagine yourself as a deer… you are in a giant field just grassing and minding your own business. Then you hear something, you try to react, but it’s too late and everything turns black. You still can hear faintly though. You hear “ EUREKA, I shot more deer than you Tyler.” yelled something. “Fine I guess I owe you a soda,” said Tyler as his voice got fainter and fainter until it stopped. All you hear left is the rustling of leaves on the ground. Then you can’t hear any more. I just want to get the point out there that animals are not supposed to be killed for sport. There are many reasons why we need animals. An example of this is bees… pollinate our flowers and without bees, there would be no flowers, nuts or apples. Most of our fruits would be gone. I love animals and I want to help society grow and cherish. Animals are dying and going extinct... for what?!?! SPORT? Why do people want to kill animals for their felt or ivory? Why kill endangered animals just for black market trading. When you could be using that money to plant trees or making medicine for sick human and animals? My driving question is: What can we do as people of the world to save animals from poachers? The research that I found does have a way we can prevent poachers from killing animals for sport and for their horns/ivory.
