Persuasive Essay On Animals

Ever since a young age, I have been a passionate animal enthusiast. I cannot image a life without a dog by my side. Animals are not just pets, or food, or part of the environment. They are intelligent creatures and deserve to be treated as such. Animals have evolved just as we have. The evolution theory even says humans evolved from primates. So why do animals not have rights? They have a brain and can learn and grow, just as we can. It can also be argued that animals have a soul. I believe animals not only have dignity, but they also have rights.

Her name was Snow White, beautiful eyes with a smile so bright, perked up ears that rose to the sky and beautiful black and white fur that made you feel safe when needed someone to talk to or even a hug. Since birth she was loyal, since birth she was faithful, but the reality of it all is that, not every owner knew how to take care of her. An animal is known to be more than a companion and our savior of the night, which is why we should understand the reality behind animal welfare, but in actuality, we don’t. But, they’re some habits to create a positive impact on animal welfare. From taking your pet to the veterinarian every six months to making sure your animal feels loved and appreciated by giving them attention, they are a lot more ways

Animal testing has been one of the issues that people are fighting overtime because of its moral. Even though some results of tests are successful on people, many people are still fighting for the animal’s rights. They believe that animals should have their own rights to live a free life where they belong, just like their species. In scientists point of view, animals have been one of the main subjects to test on, but a lot of them are currently looking forward to use and develop alternatives for the cruel act of animal testing.

Animal rights is a very complicated issue. It’s not fair that they get tortured in a very inhumane way. Believe it or not that animals feel pain just like humans because we’re just a different species of animals. “Human demand for meat has led to a quicker production for demand, which means the meat industry production line doesn’t stop for anything, especially sick, disabled and not effectively stunned animals.” (Animal Rights) There are many cases of animals being mistreated and countless videos of them being tortured, getting kicked also bleeding to death. “Animals that are not stunned correctly are still butchered even when they are still conscious.” (Animal Rights) When eating meat, you’re “kidneys work 3x times hard than the kidneys of a vegetarian. There are some cases of retailers rejecting the meat because of the condition when delivered.” (Animal Rights)

The Animal Bill of Rights are laws that provide animals with rights to protect them and their dignity. Over the years there's been quite a controversy whether if animals should be given rights and a curiosity about their capabilities and if it's enough for them to be guaranteed the rights that a human has. Although it has been proven that animals indeed to have feelings and knowledge to their existence and even causes and effects of life or death, many people in the US still don't agree that animals should have rights. Many of the people who don't agree are more curious as to what would happen and the lengths these rights would go for animals and how it would affect the lives of humans. They laugh at the fact that these rights could possibly apply to all animals even the smallest ones when it shouldn't be a matter of humor. I think the real reason they laugh is because they're afraid of what these animals can do that could possibly outsmart humans in any way. These animals have suffered for years and they finally get to shine and their abuse finally comes to light and more people are realizing the inhumane acts these poor animals go through.

Medicines or cures save many people. They can make headaches go away or injury pains vanish. But how do people know if it will work or if it will make it worse? Animals. They test out the cures on animals before they announce that they have a pain killer or medicine for some diseases or problems. These animals are suffering from these tests and sometimes they might not even work. There lives are being sacrificed to save ours, is it fair? Although these creatures may be helping us, these animals are suffering, they don’t have many of the diseases people have, millions of animals are being tested, and sometimes, they go to waste.

Paul McCartney once said, “if slaughterhouses had glass walls, we would all be vegetarian.” There are many different forms of animal cruelty, ranging from labs, to farms, to even circuses. People have been using animals for a long time, they have controlled them for even longer. But despite that, there have still been some positive outcomes from this otherwise dark subject. Some people support the things that are happening to these animals. But others make it their mission to stand up for the animals that are mistreated everyday. Animal cruelty can mean many things to many different people, it can be a controversial topic, with many different sides and stories to it, it has a long history, much of it being good, much of it bad.

1.7 million animals have been sent across country borders (to be animal trophies) for the past 10 years. An animal trophy is when an animal is stuffed and kept as a prize. Gross huh? And American hunters are the largest group of people that kill animals for animal trophies, with Germany and spain next. Also,the number of lions have TRIPLED in 10 years! 1,500 lions are shot each year. Elephants hunted have doubled in ten years for 1,600 killed in a year. “More than 10,000 elephants were killed in the last 10 years. The same number of leopards were killed, and more than 8,000 lions were killed at the same time.

Imagine a white fluffy puppy with one blind eye, now imagine him being killed because no one adopted him. Imagine a small calf that was just born, killed for veal for a restaurant down the street. A furry black fox, killed and skinned for a small fur coat. A lion at the zoo, killed because he ran into the glass and cracked it, just because humans got scared. Humans will put them in fights. We kill them for food. We put wild animals on display. However they do so much more for mankind than we give them credit too, they are used in therapy, they rescue us and help in drugs exploitation. Do over 2,750 trillion deaths really justify the need for humans? Do people really stand above the moral laws and are able to do these horrible things to

Now, I’m not an advocate for animal cruelty in any way, but this dog has been known to be rather clumsy. From falling down stairs to face planting after tripping over his own feet, my dog is clumsier than most humans. The many times my family and I have had a good laugh or a moment of fear could fill a short novel. He has been a source of happiness for my family and myself and has kept me running even when I felt I was at my lowest.

Everyone who has kids knows that said kids always want a family pet, and, if they don’t have one, they will be constantly asking for that puppy in the window, or that kitten in the gutter, or even that stray raccoon that probably has rabies. This is often a problem for a young family that’s just starting out. There isn’t enough room, or it would cost too much, or it won’t be as cute once it grows up and the kids will get bored of it, and so on and so forth. If only there was an animal out there that could silence these unending requests for a pet and at the same time fit into the busy and practical household of the typical American family. Well, how about a rabbit? Rabbits make some of the best pets for children because they are easy to take care of, cheap to buy and maintain, are absolutely adorable and varied, and are even a great way to teach kids how to run a business.

Animals had no rights until people and foundations came along to help. Animals are being used in medical schools, for testing, trained for films and being captivated in zoos.

But undercover investigations bring out the dark truth of factory farming. Mercy for Animals, a nonprofit organization, exposes companies such as, Tyson, who advertise their products in the naturalist form but fail to acknowledge the reality. Discoveries from undercover investigations reveal the, “abusive handling,” the, “physical alterations like teeth clipping,” the, “misuse of antibiotics to compensate for unsanitary conditions”(“Factory Farms”), and many more cruel and secretive procedures. Several consumers perceive factory farms as advertised, but few are aware of the suffering endured by farm animals. The fact that, “99% of farm animals in the U.S. are raised in factory farms,” proposes the question: Do consumers have a clear understanding of what goes on behind the walls of large industrial farms?

Imagine you are trying to win an argument or convincing someone or an audience to agree with your point of view. To do this, you must know about the topic that you are going to persuade. Animals come in different sizes and shapes, making every animal unique to its own kind. However, the idea of exploiting animals for anything is a controversial issue here in America and the idea also conflicts with other countries around the world. Pet owners view their pet not only important to society but also a part of their family as well. However, some others do not have any affection towards animals since these animals cannot express their emotions. It is also an ethical and moral issue because some people are using animals in a wrong way. In this discussion, most of the readers found it emotionally disturbing and they show their concerns to protect these animals from any harm done. By using ethos, pathos, and logos animals should not be punished for anything just because of human needs or wants.
