Rhetorical Analysis Essay On Endangered Animals

The only way to stop the manslaughter of endangered species is to have everyday people and governments take interest and action to save our environment and help endangered species by protecting them and their habitats. We need to stop the killing of animals and destruction of their habitats. Without meaningful governmental support to maintain the environment and save endangered species, we will not have a way or real means of stopping the extinction of animals. We need laws and penalties to stop the slaughter of animals. I picked to research the Bengal tiger which is an endangered species. “It is the most numerous of all tiger subspecies with more than 2,500 left in the wild.(worldwildlifepg1) ”.

What if you woke up one day and all the animals in the world were gone? Would you be scared? You should because people would die one by one until no one will live on earth. If there were no bees there would be no flowers or trees and we would run out of oxygen. What if there was a farmer with 4,000 cows he sells them to the stores, and we buy them and if there are no cows the stores wouldn’t have as much money. I chose this topic because I like animals and I would like to know what is happening to them and I want to try to keep the animals alive. Also, I will tell other people what is happening to animals and ask them to try to tell as many people as they could so it could be stopped. When I was researching animal extinction I wanted to know how animals are becoming extinct, are there any animal habits that are reserved meaning they can’t hunt there. I also want to know how many people caused the extinction of spices. After all the research that I did this problem can be solved we can find and create ways to stop animal extinction. My problem is that animals are becoming extinct this means that we would run out of food and oxygen. What if there was a farmer with 4,000 cows he sells them to the stores, and we buy them and if there are no cows the stores wouldn’t have as much money.

On the topic of animal rights, Vicki Hearne and Peter Singer represent opposite ends of a belief spectrum. Singer describes, in numerous articles, that he believes animal rights should focus on if the animal is suffering, and the best option to prevent it is to limit interaction between animals and humans. Specifically, in “Speciesism and Moral Status” Singer compares the intelligence and ability of non-human animals to those with severe cognitive disabilities to establish an outrageous solution to animal belittlement. He uses logos (the appeal to reason) and ethos (the appeal to ethics), to question the current rights in place to appeal to other scholars. Nevertheless, his approach can cause an emotional disconnect to the readers; this apparent in contrast to Hearne’s pathos (the

To put this on equal terms, think one day you and your family are taking a leisurely stroll down the park. While walking down the spark another person randomly tries to kill you. But, no one but your mom is wounded with a poisoned wound without an antidote. Frighten you would not be able to know or think straight with the sight of someone dear to you dying right in front of your eyes. Now if you would please take that picture and put it in terms of an animal being hunted by another species far more advanced, without a way to protect themselves. Is it really morally right to kill another living thing for sport? Especially when the animal involved is on the endangered species list, to be fair, it is on the endangered species list for a reason because it is on the verge of becoming extinct. So let me ask you again why should anybody think it's more to hunt and kill animals that are endangered or simply in our backyards. it is morally wrong to continue trophy hunting as a Leisure activity when endangered animals are

Asian elephants are an endangered animal. Their population is decreasing very quickly. In 2000, there were more than 100,000 elephants left, but now, in 2017, there are only 35,000 to 40,000 left. Some of the problems Asian elephants face is habitat loss, ivory poaching and the kidnapping of young elephants. Luckily, there are many ways you can help to stop them from going extinct, including donating to places like the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, encouraging selective logging, shutting down ivory markets, donating and shunning places that advertise the chance to see a baby elephant.

It is widely known that captive animals live unhappy lives. Although they are majestic and entertaining to watch, that is not what they are meant to do. On occasion, they become so overwhelmed and upset they die under the care of their false environment. The news is often restrained as much as possible from being heard. Zoos, and every so often aquariums, also breed animals and then proceed to sell them; at times even to people who use them for hunting purposes. Animals should not be held captive, it is extremely unhealthy and stressful for them.

Animal rights activists are rallying and petitioning for an animal bill of rights because they are stating that animals are only being considered “property” by law, being no different than a table and chair. The Animal Legal Defense Fund is really passionate about the document being published even having specific rights for animals with numbering and strong evidence to back up each right and claim, leaving little detail out. Also, in the article “A Change of Heart About Animals” written by Jeremy Rifkin states “What these researchers are finding is that many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined” (Rikin 2). I agree with his statement, because animals and humans have many similarities pointed out by many researchers over the many years we have existed on this planet. He provides specific evidence like Koko the gorilla, who passed an IQ test with a score of 70-95 or around that range and basically I think it's pretty amazing, sad, and ironic that Koko is smarter than a majority than humans. There was also a parrot named alex who could communicate with it's owner and tell her how many of each colored shape was on a plate which was presented to him, and literally asked for a glass of water and I think that is honestly incredible.

Even though some argue that zoos are actually beneficial for animals, zoos in reality produce a toxic and cruel impact on species. When animals are confined in spaces for entertainment purposes, they are more likely to develop mental illnesses and strange behaviors. For instance, the term “zoochosis” was coined by Bill Travers in 1992 after witnessing abnormal behaviors such as pacing, head banging, self mutilation, regurgitating, and many more actions that animals displayed in zoos that were not found in the wild (“Travers”). These findings are able to prove that the behavior shown in zoos is not normal for these species. With evidence such as recordings that show animals displaying these shocking behaviors, it is impossible to claim that

“It’s frightening but true: our planet is now in the midst of a sixth mass extinction of plants and animals” (Greenwald). I know what you are thinking. Does this include humans too? No, not yet at least. But, animal species from all over the world are struggling to survive in their own habitats. Why? Well, because of you, and by you, I mean the human race. Animal extinction is caused by humans because we cause climate change, poach endangered species, and we destroy habitats.

The public have always been a lover of zoos and safari parks, as they allow people to get closer to beautiful and exotic animals that they typically wouldn’t see in my day to day life. Though, as children become older, they often become more aware of the darker truth of animals in captivity. Now, going to the zoo has always made people happy, but that happiness is only temporary. You gain maybe three to five hours of happiness from going to the zoo. Yet, the sadness that animals in captivity have to deal with is not temporary. It could potentially last their entire lives. Is it worth it to have these wonderful animals suffer so that we can get brief enjoyment out of them?

Are zoos a good way to learn more about animals and help slow down animal extinction or are zoos a cruel way to use animals for our entertainment? Some people think that it’s okay but others disagree. We should have zoos to help with the study of animals.

Animal rights are a very controversial topic. Some support the industry and buy products with their fur or products that are tests on animals. While others, are 100% against it and make sure the products they are buying are not tested on animals and if they are buying fur they double check to make sure it is fo-fur. I simply think that everyone should have the decency to treat animals with kindness and respect, and not make them suffer in any way. Animals deserve to be left alone and living in their natural state of life, without harm, abuse or exploitation. It has been shown that animals are capable of feeling pain, hunger, thirst, loneliness, and kinship. Fur belongs to its original owner and I am not a fan of fo-fur I think it looks unnatural

In ancient years, philosophers had a lot to say about how humans treat animals. However, experts in social sciences have taken part in issues concerning humans and other animals. Every year, thousands of animals are in a tormented, and then died during the animal experiments. Another fact is from Vivisection Information Network, there is a rough estimate from the European Union that 10.5 million vertebrate animals were used in animal experiments, which is 28,800 per day or one every three seconds. Around 18.5 million animals were used in the USA per year (Updated, 2013). And also the evidence in the emerging field of Human-Animal study, (HAS), shows that animal protection is not taken seriously. A review of Marxist realism, feminism, ecofeminism, social constructionist theorists and approaches that shows the human-animal study is highly concerned. Animal protection movement involves animal welfare, animal liberation, and animal rights. Our focus on this argument will be on animal rights.

One of the most touchy aspects of our relationship with animals is the use of animals in laboratory sciences. Some manufactures of cosmetics and household products still conduct painful and useless tests on live animals, even though no law requires them to do so. Some people, called anti-vivisectionists, are at one extreme in their concern. They want an abolition of all experiments on live animals. At the other extreme there are those who say that it is quite all right for us to do whatever we like to animals. They say that God gave us such a right, since it is written in the bible (Genesis 1:26) that man has dominion over all creatures. If what is done to the animal may produce something of educational value, adds to scientific

At the University of Oregon, Barbara Gorden-Lickey, Ph. D., sewed kittens' eyes shut and forced them to jump from a height onto a platform surrounded by water so she could study the effects of sight deprivation on the brain. Cruel and inhumane experiments like this one is an excellent reason why people should recognize the importance of animal right activist groups such as PETA (People of the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Founded in 1980 by Ingrid E. Newkirk and Alex Pacheco, PETA is the largest group in the world with 600,000 plus members. PETA's effort to delete animal abuse in factory farms, laboratories, fur trade, and entertainment through education, investigations, research, animal rescues, legislation, social events, celebrity
