If you saw a Pit Bull being walked by its owner at your local park, how would you react? Would you cringe at the thought of the monstrous thing and stay out of its way, or would you be compelled to ask if you may pet this wonderful, misunderstood creature? The general public would be afraid of the dog. However, the properly educated portion of the human race knows better than to conform to popular belief and succumb to the mass hysteria regarding this breed without first doing research of their own. Most people shudder at the thought or sight of a Pit Bull and consider them vicious atrocities, but I will show that Pit Bulls are innocent and really are just misunderstood.
Insofar as I can make-out, people are uncomfortable to know how animals die and to assume such a responsibility. When I've showed people videos of --seemingly credible-- factory farm footage they either react in two different ways: (1) either they quiver-away or plea me to turn it off (2) or they uncomfortably scoff at how ridiculously cynical it all is. Albeit, appalled, this doesn't generally discourage people to stop eating meat altogether. They simply look past it when they go-off and buy animal-based products. The fact of the matter is that the animal products we buy are the source of considerable pain and cruelty.
They believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering and also believe that animal rights is a social movement that challenges society’s traditional view that all nonhuman animals exist solely for human use. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is the leading animal rights group with over three million members and is commonly shown in its abbreviated form PETA. On their website the group’s founder Ingrid Newkirk says, “When it comes to pain, love, joy, loneliness, and fear, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. Each one values his or her life and fights the knife” (3). Newkirk’s words are a little redundant when saying that “each one values his or her life and fights the knife.” Every animal in the world values its life and has a natural instinct for survival and reproduction.
As consumers we should have every right to know how animals are being raised. From my own experience, I never knew what the word process ever meant. Until I reached high school and saw the documentary on Food, Inc. That documentary changed my whole perspective on our food. I couldn’t tell you how disgusted, furious, annoyed and agitated I was from the look of those poor cows. This is not right.
Edgar Espana Kara Lybarger-Monson English MO1B February 29, 2012 Questioning Ones Power In T.C. Boyle’s novel When the Killings Done, Dave LaJoy the so-called animal lover and animal rights activist, who by the way hates humans, faces-off with Alma Boyd Takesue, the real animal lover that is trying to restore “Eden” to the way it was before being infested by rats and feral pigs. Both Alma and Dave are interested in animal rights but have different ways in doing so, Alma even though she’d rather not kill anything has to eliminate animals from Eden because she is dedicated to preserving the species unique to Eden’s environment and Dave, on the other hand, is on a determined mission to “save animals” even though the way he goes
The publisher just persuaded viewers through the messages that are directly shown on top of the background of cute dogs. However, they are tied by ropes or put in the cages. “Why do people continue to abuse and mishandle something that needs to be loved?” This message in the video is significance because it’s telling the truth about animal negligence. The publisher is calling everyone to “stop the abuse” and asking us to “act

In chapter 3 when ralph approaches jack to inform him that they need his help building shelters, not going hunting. “And they keep running off…” “Except me and my hunters…” (50) Here we see that ralph and jack do not get along because jack feels that since he is out hunting all day, he doesn’t need to contribute anything else to the group. * The littluns speak out of line with out the conch. * Conch is broken Body paragraph 3: evil destroys and corrupts the naturally innocent * Humans are naturally born as innocent beings, but when exposed to the society, they also face the risk of being harmed and corrupted by the societal settings they live in.

Mankind was consumed with technology they ended up not thinking of the damage they could cause with a nuclear war. Ray Bradbury shows how technology can cause pain to not just humans. Animals have nothing to do with technology, but because of the humans’ selfishness an innocent dog “walks with sores all over his body" (Bradbury 89). Humans do not realize that
Marcus Powell Kenneth Quilantang English 22 14 November 2013 Cockfighting should remain illegal in Hawaii Cockfighting should remain illegal in Hawaii because it is cruelty to animals, it promotes violence, and gambling.

Sherry Bird, commander or the Kona Vice Division Gambling is involved to where people are betting on which bird they think will be the last one standing and gambling is illegal in the state of Hawaii.
