You may write on any topic referencing animal wellbeing and animal welfare: animal sanctuaries, theme parks, predators, or pethood. Consider how we use and abuse animals in different ways. We disguise our abuse as love or just business. We spend money on outfits and matching bowls. We clip ears and tails, we “train” certain growth, we abuse with love. Farmers buy high powered antibiotics for their cattle. Chickens’ beaks are clipped to “keep them safe.” Pigs are slaughtered “efficiently” on an electrified metal floor. However, NO ANIMAL EVER APPLIED FOR A JOB AT THE CIRCUS. No horse ever asked its mom to SIGN IT UP FOR THE TRACK TEAM. Race horses are “euthanized” (killed) if the owner decides it is no longer a winner (read: has a broken leg or even curable illness). Some of us are not into sea predators, but Shark Week is hugely popular. More popular than sharks are whales—killer whales specifically. SeaWorld has taught what the psychosis looks like when Orcas (killer whales) grow up in “bathtubs.” Then, there is the fishing industry. Seaspiracy revealed the layered lies of the tuna industry and the other sea animals killed for those tuna melts at lunch and the Ahi Sushi Bar for dinner. Even though many Vegans have strong positions about animal interaction of any kind, they, too, are guilt tripped about hose plastic straws. In this essay, develop, organize, and present your strong opinion about some aspect of the animal world. Structure your five-to-seven paragraph essay as an argumentative essay.
