Proposition
This proposal aims to support People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the non-governmental animal rights organisation. PETA’s movement is; firstly, to reveal the truth behind what happens to animals in laboratories and farms; and secondly, to rally people to go vegan and shop cruelty-free. The three campaigns will provide aid in PETA’s movement to Singaporean youths. Firstly, by creating an interactive game on a mobile app which will increase Singaporean youths’ interest in the treatment of animals. Secondly, by producing a viral video that depicts the life of a farm animal. And lastly, by having talks with various celebrities that youths are interested in. …show more content…

Youths will gain more knowledge through the campaigns presented as it will be safe for viewing in Singapore especially for teenagers. By adapting a new form of campaigning, more people will be interested in seeing what PETA has to offer. The Internet penetration rate in Singapore is 73%, above the global average of 35% (Mohd Azhar). This means that using social media as a platform to reach out to Singapore youths is the most effective method. By using the campaigns, people will recognise that PETA is not only about sexual advertisements or gruesome video clips. The public will know that PETA is serious about promoting veganism and preventing animal cruelty. The campaign will still contain some gruesome and sexual scenes but at a much lesser extent compared to

Everyone who owns a television has seen the “Somewhere in America” commercial at least once, which was published by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This commercial is full of emotions and most people, “Always change the channel because they can’t take it anymore,” (McLachlan). The most depressing parts of this commercial is the pictures because the dogs and cats are all beaten up and suffering from being abused and neglected by their owners. As a matter of fact, they are trying to make the audience feel sympathetic so they can join the ASPCA. The ASPCA tries to encourage audience monetary donation by using ethos by their tone, logos and pathos from the pictures and the statistics.

Almost all of the video shots of animals are close-ups of the animals face, this shot may help to establish the emotion of the animal and show the neglect they have been through. The teary eyes of the animals portray the hurt they have gone through and their helplessness, while the facts such as “... but for thousands of others help came too late” encourage the audience to use their empathy to be the help those animals needed. Pathos can be a powerful way to influence an individual, as it is used in this commercial it impacts the message to the desired audience by making them have an emotional attachment to the animals on the

Although Jeremy Rifkin, Bob stevens, and Lois Frazier have all written about their view on animals and how they are treated globally, but when bringing in animal rights groups like ASPCA and PETA, different bias and tactics are newly introduced. Of all the articles, Jeremy Rifkin uses the most credible sources such as lab studies and examples. In the article “A Change of Heart about Animals” Rifkin uses sources such as Purdue University and the European union when talking about situations. One situation he writes about is how pigs need social activity so the pigs are not “lacking mental and physical stimuli [which] hand result in deterioration of health”.

Home Sweet Home In 2006, the organization known as “ASPCA” first surfaced due to an emotional rollercoaster of a commercial they had produced. ASPCA is a charitable organization that donates the proceeds collected to rescue animals from cruelty events such as dog-fighting, puppy mills, hoarding, and neglect as well as many other situations. The animals are then provided with food, shelter, and any other care they may be in need of. Throughout the ad, the producers provide the viewers with multiple uses of ethos, pathos and logo to create a visual representation of what those watching the ad can do to benefit the animals shown.

Namit Arora, author of the article “On Eating Animals”, harshly captures the inhumane production of meat in America with repulsive imagery and shocking details. Arora, writer at thehumanist.com, reveals the immediate attention that Americans give to their pets and news-famous animals like Molly a runaway cow, yet they neglect to realize the millions of livestock being killed daily. With an accusatory and critical tone Arora condemns the hypocrisy of those who are pro-life for animals, but they still consume meat products. In return, this clarifies the injustice towards these animals for his American readers and global viewers. Namit Arora’s devastating imagery underscores the brutality of American actions towards innocent animals with descriptions such as, “the cow, bellowing miserably and hobbling like a drunk for several seconds before collapsing” and, “...died on the street in a pool of blood.”

To achieve this, Foer employs many persuasion techniques and often changes his approach when he targets specific groups. His strategies include establishing himself as an ethical authority and appealing to his readers’ emotions, morals, and reason.

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. According to Pollan, the lacking respect for specific species of animals lies in the fact that they are absent from human’s everyday lives; enabling them to avoid acknowledgment of what they are doing when partaking in brutality towards animals. 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

As we mentioned in class that not every movement is successful or a failure, there’s always some more to it. If you ask me, PETA has a line between successfully accomplishing all their intended consquences like being the biggest animal rights organization and fighting against a lot of businesses that were treating animals with cruelty but there’s also the unintended external consequences that occurred which was “PETA kills animals.” This countermovement proves to the world that PETA might be more of a hypocrite than anybody knew because the animal rights that they fighting for, they were also willing to kill animals which is something that is contradicting (Winograd). As I mentioned before, PETA have wrote many letters to different businesses

Animal rights and livestock farming Many of us, nowadays, eat and enjoy eating meat but many would agree that this is actually not an ethical action. Michael Pollan, in his persuasive style article “An Animal's Place" published in The New Work Times Magazine, on November 10, 2002 intends to persuade his audience that humans should respect animals and as long as they are treated well in farms and give them a more peaceful life and death it will be fine to eat them. According to Pollan, in today's huge industrial farms, cruel and unbearable things happen that are against animals rights. There is a high possibility that in the future these actions will stop as already some protest for animal rights have begun, because animals have feelings and farms take advantage of them thinking that they are mere machines, making them suffer. The solution to this conflict according to the author who supports friendly farms that respect and give a fun and secure life for animals.

In recent years, zoos have responded to increasing public concern about animal welfare standards and animal welfare legislation by increasing efforts to identify and address welfare issues by implementing policies which exceed minimum legal standards (World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, 2005; Whitham and Wielebnowski, 2013). Although zoos have made these welfare advances based on public concern, Driscoll (1995) and Stokes (2007) argue that the public are mostly concerned with animals they find to be attractive and pleasing. Support for conservation efforts often depends upon the attractiveness of the animal species involved and that it is easier to evoke support for conservation projects for animals deemed to be more attractive. When conservation is directed toward insects, reptiles or fish i.e. species considered less attractive, greater efforts to obtain public engagement are necessary (Driscoll, 1995). Furthermore, there is an association between animals that are cognitively, behaviourally and physically similar to humans and positive attitudes towards them when compared to animals that are dissimilar.

The meat packing industry disregards animal’s emotions and their rights all together by the malicious treatment of animals. The way animals are being treated is highly unfair. Being slaughtered for their body parts and suffering just to be used for protein or an asset to humans is unbearable. An animal’s life is at equal values to a human and deserve the same rights as
