It leads to some more serious questions indicated in his next paragraph: do we have the right to exploit animals? where should we draw the line? After expressing all his personal experience, Suzuki advances his argument. After Suzuki’s description of his personal anecdotes, he incorporates some other examples and quotations to help solidify his thesis. At first, he talks about how different it is to observe the whales rove in the wild comparing to those he had seen in the Vancouver Public Aquarium.
BSL was made to try to regulate specific breeds of dogs. Usually, BSL targets breeds that are thought of as dangerous breeds. Proponents of BSL claim that BSL is a great way to reduce the threatening pit bull breed (www.animallaw.info, 2007). People who support BSL usually have imagined pit bulls as vicious dogs bred just to fight. BSL is slowly being seen as ineffective laws because leaders of communities are being educated more about pit bulls.
Sirucek uses rhetorical questioning and logical appeals to make the reader want to maybe take action and think about an endangered species other than themselves. The author is excited about the recent sighting and wants to inform people about what scientists are doing to protect the Sierra Nevada red fox. Sirucek's audience consists of endangered species researchers, animal conservators, and the typical civilian who cares about the safety of endangered species, as well as the
INTRODUCTION For this next session of parliament; as Minister for Environment, my cabinet proposes developing an environmental policy and legislation on a national cap and trade system which involves a great deal of research, consultation, analysis and time depending on the complexity of the issues and the impact it has on the ministry’s stakeholders. The federal government should
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
In David Suzuki’s, “The Pain of Animals” (2002) he attempts to highlight how for many years, scientists have utilized animals to examine the effects of experimental diseases, drugs, and vaccines as a way to skirt around the ethical consequences of experimenting on humans. As a geneticist, environmentalist, and award-winning academic Suzuki’s attempt to increase public awareness for various issues is apparent within this article. Suzuki utilizes ethos, pathos, and logos throughout his article to express his discomfort on the subject of testing on these animals. Suzuki’s interest in this subject is unending, no matter how many illnesses are destroyed through extensive scientific testing and research. Furthermore, Suzuki effectively discusses the quality of life for the animals being tested, and the depressing and deprived realities that these helpless animals survive.
Should the 1 Should The EPA Be Doing More to Fight Environmental Injustice? SCI: 207 Dependence of Man on the Environment April 22, 2009 Should the 2 Perhaps one of the greatest assets of living in a country as advanced and as great as the United States, is knowing that there are laws and government run organizations that are in place to protect the natural environment that we live in because after all, our very existence as humans depends on the preservation of our natural environment. As American citizens, we know that we have certain rights that have been adopted by our government to insure that we are protected against all sorts of injustices, which can affect our
For example, these organisms were viewed as negative and the phrase “microbes are a menace” was instilled by Pasteur in 1880. Against his initial intentions, this started an ambush against bacteria and the mentality was “find the microbe, kill the microbe”, as the author from Microbe Hunters explains. However, once the definition of bacteria is concluded, more light is shed on its important influences, so this is where the author moves next. Nikiforuk provides comprehensive descriptions of capabilities, attributes and unique specifics of bacteria. To define bacteria and its role on Earth isn’t as tedious or as opinion-based as the operational definition of abstract nouns, which seem to be on the fence, and usually include argument, but instead, requires description and fact to create distinction.
Duck season is now approaching, and to anti-shooting advocates like Laurie Levy it is seen as a time to raise awareness of the “cruelty inflicted on waterbirds”. Levy’s article “in the firing line”, didactically confronts readers that the Government should place a ban on recreational shooting in order to introduce nature-based tourism. However, this day to others such as Bill Patterson (In the firing line, FOR article) and the blog writer Horrace from ‘duckvill’ Victoria, who as “frustrated enthusiasts” share similar views, duck shooting is perceived as a sensible “legacy” in which protestors have destroyed by “confusing animal rights with conservation”. Patterson’s indignant remarks suggest that a loss of this program would be a loss to
Grace Cueva Mr.King ERWC October 29, 2014 Los Angeles Times 551 Burning Tree Rd. Fullerton, CA Dear Editor, Jeremy Rifkin declared in his article,” A Change of Heart About Animals” Los Angeles Times, September 1, 2003 that animals are capable of emotions just like any human being is, and is requesting that all people treat animals with a sense of empathy to animals just like you would to any other human being. His ideas are a bit too farfetched and absurd and if you really examine the idea itself it is really badly supported. This stems from the fact that one of the topics that differentiate human beings from animals is their ability to feel regarding the lives of creatures outside of their own kind. Rifkin tries to persuade us by telling us that animals understand and experience the whole idea of mortality by using observation for example,”Elephants will often stand next to their kin for days, occasionally touching their bodies with their trunks.”(Rifkin, 11) I think that just because animals can feel grief does not mean that we should treat them how we treat other humans.
