Rebecca Hartt describes the scene as a cat, "being lured by a young man’s outstretched hand" (Hartt). Immediately after welcoming the creature, Robinson launches the cat, sending him some ten feet upward and twenty feet outward. Simultaneously after sabotaging King, Robinson bursts out in laughter (Hartt). Furthermore, Robison found joy within harming innocent King, who only wished to gain affection from a human being.

First, Robinson could have handled the situation in a more mature manner than was taken. Although one may claim that Robinson could have felt threatened by the animal; Robinson confirms a feeling like so was completely absent to him. Even if there was he simply could have fled the situation, avoiding his circumstance altogether. Newly elected, Mr. Thompson stated, “It’s part of the new administration; we’re going to take these cases seriously" (Hartt). Robinson knew of this statement beforehand but chose to ignore it. Thus proving, how this could, and should, have been avoided all along; justifying how Robinson's video of animal cruelty should be a

In her work “What’s Wrong with Animal Rights,” Vicki Hearne challenges common beliefs of animal rights, arguing that animal rights groups do very little to actually benefit animals. She argues that natural selection should be allowed to take place for wild animals, and animals such as cats and dogs should not be seen as property. To persuade the audience to support her position, she uses ethos, pathos, and logos. Her credibility as a trainer makes the logic behind her views reliable, her logic reinforces the examples she uses, and she appeals to emotion using her relationship with her Airedale, Drummer, to support everything her argument is saying. Through these strategies, Vicki Hearne effectively counters the current, popular views of the

In An Animal’s Place, Michael Pollan describes the growing acknowledgement of animal rights, particularly America’s decision between vegetarianism and meat-eating. However, this growing sense of sentiment towards animals is coupled with a growing sense of brutality in farms and science labs.

He presents arguments for why vegetarianism would make sense in certain instances and why it would not and ultimately lead to the decision of eating-meat while treating the animals fairly in the process. Pollan

These inaccurate perceptions can lead to false accusations, which in turn can cause an immense amount of suffering.
