Here's some questions to lead up to my blog...
Do you like animals?
If yes, why so? If not, why?
Do you not like a particular type of animal?
If yes , why?
Do you believe animal abuse is an important topic?
Why or why not?
Would you be willing to take action if you witnessed abuse? ( report it, help remove the pet, etc )

This is just some animal abuse stories that helps support WHY I am against this, and why i'm trying to stand up for their rights.
Hey Cierra, you know what's really helpful about this website that they aren't really saying is that often times people get pets but aren't prepared to take care of them. I was looking at one where a cat had a polyp on his nose which made him refuse food. When pet owners don't take the time to figure out what's wrong or have the money to take care of the problem, the pet suffers. And that for me, is just one version of animal abuse. There are others like what happens as a result of dog fighting, or the consequences of pets in abusive homes, or pets who are abandoned because they cannot move with the owners...this site will talk about a lot of those issues. Just make sure that you are also talking about them and using the article to reinforce your values and point and not letting the site do the work for you. Fold it in. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love your questions! Especially the one asking them if they'd be willing to step up and report animal abuse! Are you going to give people resources to do so if they say yes?
Excellent start, Cierra. :)
