Comparison Between Roxane Gay And Kel Smith

Despite being ‘cruel’ in order to meet the requirements of ‘Australians for Animal Rights’, humans have considered the report ‘alternative’ and ‘important’, compounding the agency’s apparent guilt. This attack on humans invites both readers and carnivores by choice to support the tough action done by the Australians for Animal Rights in defence of the animal society. The tone of the article becomes less forceful when explaining the Australians for Animal Rights’s response. Talk of ‘compassionate people’ and ‘breaking the law’ gives way to a more conciliatory tone, reporting an agreement between humans and the Australians for Animal Rights in order to ‘justify’ to ‘damage’, risks and ‘poor creatures’ involved. Jo’s use of language is most likely intended to encouraging the readers to accept their ‘self-serving purposes’ and to perceive of ‘animal rights’ as a

A quick comparison to Vicki Hearne’s “What’s Wrong with Animal Rights?” to Peter Singer’s “Speciesism and Moral Status”, might indicate Hearne’s argument is stronger due to her strategic and effective use of emotional appeals (i.e. pathos). These appeals allow Hearne to connect quickly and easily with her audience. Hearne is also quite clever in terms of stressing her occupation as an animal trainer. However, after a swift comparison of the two articles, it is evident that Singer’s “Speciesism and Moral Status” offers readers a stronger and more valid argument. Both Singer and Hearne are arguing their position on animal rights and the extent of human involvement. Since Hearne’s article is primarily based on her attempt to persuade her

In discussion of inhumane treatment, a controversial issue is whether animals are entitled to their rights. While some argue that only humans have rights, others contend that animals should have the same privileges as humans. The author of “A Change of Heart about Animals,” Jeremy Rifkin, claims that animals should have better treatment. Rifkin rhetorically changes one’s view on this subject without the consent of the reader. Rifkin begins by showing the animals’ human qualities, then giving a counter statement to common objections, and finally ends it by utilizing negative language.

The article, Washington wolf killing sparks rebukes, controversy discusses the local issue in Spokane Washington. Cattle ranchers have experienced a problem with the Profanity Peak wolf pack. The wolves attacked the rancher’s cattle as they grazed. It was reported that 6 cows were killed. In response, hunters grouped together and killed 6 wolves. This hunting riddled many environmental groups. They say that the wolves should not be slaughtered simply for living out their natural ways. In recent reports, Washington State University disapproved a professor, Robert Wielgus, who released inaccurate information regarding cattle rancher’s actions that rallied people against the ranchers. The misguided information resulted in death threats towards

In Heather Wilhelm’s “Cecil the Lion and America’s Broken Outrage Meter,” written in 2015, the killing of Africa’s most beloved lion is discussed and tried. Cecil the Lion is one of Zimbabwe’s most famous animals and is located on his own natural preserve. Dr. Walter James Palmer, dentist from Minnesota, hired a group of “professional guides” to assist him in the hunting of the king of the jungle. Palmer says he did not know of Cecil the lion and only wanted to sportily hunt the animal, not to cruelly murder him. This controversy has been going on for over 3 months now on what really happened and who is responsible for the bloodshed of the famous lion. Celebrities such as Sharon Osbourne, Jimmy Kimmel, and even PETA themselves have suggested

When Nzou says, “I can’t eat elephant meat; it would be akin to eating a relative’s flesh,” it stresses the amount of respect they have for their animals. But yet, he explains that it doesn’t stop them from being hunted when danger is provoked. Finally, Goodwell Nzou asserts that Americans have no right in feeling bad for Cecil, when Zimbabweans are seen as prey to lions as

On August fourth, in Tampa Bay, Florida, a flamingo, affectionately named “Pinky” was forcefully taken from her enclosure at Busch Gardens, and slammed against the ground by an Orlando man with a history of senselessly murdering animals. Multiple news websites covered the traumatic incident, but two managed to stand out above the others: The Tampa Bay Times, and United Press International. However, only one presented the story effectively and accurately.

The man, 55, had not been seen since the scandal broke out in July, and was walked past swarms of press to reach his offices. This is his first appearance in public in six weeks, after becoming the target of outrage for allegedly paying $50,000 to kill Cecil the Lion at a sham safari. The press outnumbered angry protesters at the site, only twelve, screaming “Extradite!” at the man, as well as “We will not falter! Prosecute Walter!”. Other protesters held up signs reading “Animals are not trophies” and “Palmer leave town.” Bloomington Police were at the scene to handle traffic

Walter Palmer, the man who killed Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe will not face charges, according to USA Today, Oct. 12, 2015. Walter is a Minnesota dentist who hunted in Zimbabwe and got his trophy lion. Cecil was a protected lion but it appears that nothing will be done to the dentist who murdered the lion. The technicality in this ruling is because his papers were in order, a Cabinet minister said today. This decision angered many people. Many people in the United States called for his deportation, but it seems this dentist is laughing at them as he retains his prize.

We live in a world plagued by injustice. Adults, children, and animals alike are brutally killed under unjust circumstances. In the article “Of Lions and Men: Mourning Samuel DuBose and Cecil the Lion,” Roxanne Gay challenges these issues as well as her reader’s thinking. The article begins with Gay describing the death of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe. A death that the majority of individual’s would accept as being cruel and unnecessary. She goes on to say, “When people die in police custody or are killed by police, there are always those who wonder what the fallen did to deserve what befell them.” This thought challenged my thinking. I find in myself and many of those closely connected to me that it is human nature to seek out a logical explanation

Cecil the Lion was a well-known 13 year old male lion who once resided in the Hwange game reserve in Zimbabwe. The lion was lured away from the sanctuary with the use of food out of the game reserve. Cecil was then killed by an illegal party of big game hunters. The man who killed Cecil was identified by conservation groups as American, Dr. Walter Palmer, a dentist in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (CBS 1) James Palmers, the hunting guide, and a landowner whose property is adjacent to the Hwange game reserve, are facing poaching charges. The two men were both granted 1,000 dollars each of bail money.(CBS 19) In 2008, Palmer had been in trouble for poaching, and plead guilty to a license violation after killing a black bear.(Independent 1) Relevantly, it shows that Palmer is a known poacher and has no

In conclusion, animals help humans by not being as bad and staying

Social media has dramatized the killing of wildlife into an abhorrent and distasteful act of disrespect for the animals. More often than not, those who have participated in such a sport have become the recipients of a death threats. The killing of Cecil the Lion has urged regions to ban trophy hunting. However, when analyzed, this could get more lions killed. Overall, the extinction is not a result of expensive safari hunts, but of a broken relationship between humans and animals. Trophy hunting, when done by sustainable methods, can actually preserve more wildlife in the end. Programs such as CAMPFIRE in Zimbabwe have gotten the community involved.

The talk was about the contradictions in the treatment of various non-human animals based on their species, and how we often accept animal cruelty without even realizing it. As a lawyer, the lecturer used court cases as a tool to demonstrate inconsistencies in our justice system as well as in our ways and habits as a society.

My opinions on the subject is I’m against killing for sport. Especially a well-known lion who is viewed as a mascot and “one of Africa’s most famous lions”. I’m also upset about Cecil’s death is because not only is he a mascot he was used for research at the wildlife conservation unit. It’s hard enough already to conserve animals and for him to kill a lion that has a low species number that is estimated
