Don’t be a Loser, Stop the Abuser

Animal abuse is one of the most controversy conversations that affects society in a negative way. Animal cruelty is an illegal action which can ruin the animal’s habitat or have the animal tortured. The authors of the four sources, Darcy Logan, National Geographic News, The Humane Society of the United States and ASPCA all contributed to a conversation of the effects of animal abuse. The first approach towards the animal abuse topic is the article, What Are the Effects on the Environment Because of Animal Cruelty, by Darcy Logan. Logan addresses how  there is an increase in violence and crime, and health risks such as factory farms.  Logan states, “Factory farms have a larger impact on the environment because they produce more waste and pollution in a smaller area than other farming methods. Factory farms also feed antibiotics to their animals to prevent diseases caused by this type of situation.” Her comment about factory farms contributes to the abuse of animals and the environment by informing her audience about how something small such as abusing an animal, can grow into something bigger. Logan’s intended audience is for politicians because she wants to educate them on a little topic that can increase in society. Politicians often look into different crimes and the effects on wildlife to become successful in that position. From my opinion,  I disagree with her intended audience because politicians often stretch the truth to make themselves more superior. They will often ignore the fact to make themselves look better, in order to gain more support. Without support they would be nothing. I would shift the intended audience to the general public because they are the ones who are causing the offense. Bringing tragic news of animals to politicians can cause the information to become false to the public, especially if they are corrupt as well. Moving back the topic of animal abuse, I agree with Logan about stopping animal abuse because it can spread to other things. This will lead to the next article, from National Geographic News, as they talk about the effects of animal abuse from rare animals. According to National Geographic News, “More than 70 million feral cats in the United States kill hundreds of millions of birds and over a billion small animals each year. This includes rare and endangered species like the piping plover and Florida scrub jay.” This contributes to the negative effects of wildlife, because if rare animals are slowly dying away, the ecosystem will have a big change to it. For example if the Florida scrub jay becomes extinct, the food it eats, such as insects will overpopulate, causing the crops that people eat decrease; which will lead to people in hunger or sickness. I agree with them because I believe that an illegal cruel action can always become something bigger in the end, in this case it maybe lead to animal extinction. The world evolves animal ecosystem, without them we would not be alive to this day. Therefore, it is best to keep all animals safe from abuse. This conversation also leads to animal rights because many people may argue about the differences between killing an animal, and being abusive to an animal. Like people, animals also have rights because they are living beings that reproduce and feed. Being abusive to an animal is almost the same as being abusive to a human being, both of them gets hurt in the end. I believe that animals have rights because not only is it a law, but it is also a fair way of giving animals the same treatment as humans do. The next source which will also introduce how animal abuse is, compared to other topics.    As a reference from another source, The Humane Society of the United States also reports about the negative connotation of animal abuse. However in this case, they grab the reader's attention by intersecting other topics to animal cruelty. They pinpoint the audience to be animal lovers, but as they add in other topics, such as crime and murder, the intended audience shifts to become people who do not care about animals. I agree with their intended audience because it shows how the resource is trying to make society humane. I believe they persuade the audience to believe in their article as they add in controversial topics. One of the biggest eye catching topics that they add in, are about children. Children are young and pure to the open world, and to synthesize children with animal abuse gives the audience a sense of sympathetic emotion. The Humane Society states, “Children who abuse animals are sending out clear warning signs that they pose a risk to themselves as well as to others. The National School Safety Council, the U.S. Department of Education, the American Psychological Association, and the National Crime Prevention Council agree that animal cruelty is a warning sign for at-risk youth.” This quote shows how they compare children with animal abuse to trigger the audience’s emotion. Under any circumstance, animal abuse is never a positive action to do, however to this day animal cruelty still exists in many parts of the world.    One of the most controversial topics that people pay to profit animal abuse are from zoos, however in this case it is a zoo located in Indonesia. Jonathan Symcox posts an article about the Surabaya Zoo, which had many dreadful issues with their animals. He talks about a lion named Michael, who was found hanged to death by steel cables inside it’s cage. However he does not know the cause of how the one and a half year old lion was hanged. Some people say that the lion was playing around and accidentally hanged himself, while others blamed the zookeeper of hanging it. The lion was not the only animal that was abused or killed in this zoo though. A giraffe was found dead with twenty kilograms of plastic inside its stomach while Sumatran tiger had a rotten digestive system after being fed meat with formaldehyde. With the abuse in animals, people are trying to close this zoo down. Symcox says, “The zoo in East Java's capital city was built over a century ago under Dutch colonial rule. Owners have refused to update the original zoo's structures. An online petition calling for it to be closed has more than 68,000 signatures.” I agree with the people who are petitioning to close the zoo down, because it raises an awareness for others to be cautious about paying for a place that can harm animals just like the Surabaya Zoo. To contribute to this conversation about the controversy of the zoo’s abuse to the animals, I believe it is the zoo’s fault for causing the animals to become unhealthy. It is the zoo’s duty to keep the animals safe and well in their environment. Although this zoo is one of the places that abuses their own animals in a misfortunate way, there are other places that causes this as well.    Puppy mills are one of the places that causes abuse to animals, typically small young ones. These places are usually dog houses that is overcrowded with unsanitary surroundings. Puppy mills also do not give each dog the certain amount of food,water or care that they need, which may cause them to get sick or become weak. Puppies who live in puppy mills are often eight weeks of age and are sold to pet shops, the internet, or swap meets. They are kept in small, wired cages that can be sharp, which injures the puppies’ paw or leg. For female dog breeders, they are commonly killed if they cannot continue to reproduce.  This action may not only happen to the female dogs, but also to the puppies. People are generally fooled by buying puppies from pets stores because they may seemed to be healthy and well cared, however this is ironic. A quote from ASPCA, or the The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals states, “The fact is, responsible breeders would never sell a puppy through a pet store because they want to screen potential buyers to ensure their puppies are going to a good home. The ASPCA encourages everyone to make adoption their first option.” The ASPCA pinpoints this topic to the general public who wants a pet. They want to educate this audience because they will become aware of the right thing to do  to avoid animal cruelty. I agree with this quote because it creates a positive message for the intended audience. I want to contribute to this conversation by shifting the audience to the people who bought their pets from pet stores, because they will learn from their mistake and advise others to avoid recreating their mistake. They can also spread the truth about pet stores that come from harmful puppy mills. With the direct flow of the intended audience that I want, I believe that animal abuse would reduce in society if people were educated with adopting a pet instead of buying one.    Overall, animal abuse should never be used on anything, even abuse on people. The four sources all contribute to how animal cruelty is a negative action that should not be tolerated with.
