Twenty-two year old, Andre Robinson should be convicted of a felony, for the hostile actions he has taken. Not only because it is categorized as animal cruelty, but as it was first, and foremost, intentional. Second, the situation could and should have been handled in a more mature way. Lastly, Robinson saw no problem with potentially murdering an innocent creature. Without question, Robinson should be required jail time; moreover, a full seven-year sentence, for his intentional abuse on King, the cat. While viewing the outrageous video one can witness Robinson as he coaxes the cat to wander towards him. Rebecca Hartt describes the scene as a cat, "being lured by a young man’s outstretched hand" (Hartt). Immediately after welcoming the creature, Robinson launches the cat, sending him some ten feet upward and twenty feet outward. Simultaneously after sabotaging King, Robinson bursts out in laughter (Hartt). Furthermore, Robison found joy within harming innocent King, who only wished to gain affection from a human being. No one in the correct menatlity would ever react in such a manner as he; Therefore proving, Robinson's revolting mindset, as he views it as rational for one …show more content…

First, Robinson could have handled the situation in a more mature manner than was taken. Although one may claim that Robinson could have felt threatened by the animal; Robinson confirms a feeling like so was completely absent to him. Even if there was he simply could have fled the situation, avoiding his circumstance altogether. Newly elected, Mr. Thompson stated, “It’s part of the new administration; we’re going to take these cases seriously" (Hartt). Robinson knew of this statement beforehand but chose to ignore it. Thus proving, how this could, and should, have been avoided all along; justifying how Robinson's video of animal cruelty should be a

  • Analysis Of Michael Pollan´s An Animal's Place

    324 Words  | 2 Pages

    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

    On June 25, 2012, the Supreme court ruled that juveniles who committed murder could not be sentenced for to life in prison. Their reasoning was that it violated the 8th Amendment, that stated the ban of cruel and unusual punishment. However, that is not the only reason to have juveniles not be sentenced for life. I agree with the supreme court’s decision because juveniles who commit crime can be coming from an unhealthy background, their brain is not fully developed, and their characters are still in formation. Greg Ousley murdered his parents on February 27, 1993 with a rifle gun that he was found in his house.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of What's Wrong With Animal Rights By Vicki Hearne

    123 Words  | 1 Pages

    In her work “What’s Wrong with Animal Rights,” Vicki Hearne challenges common beliefs of animal rights, arguing that animal rights groups do very little to actually benefit animals. She argues that natural selection should be allowed to take place for wild animals, and animals such as cats and dogs should not be seen as property. To persuade the audience to support her position, she uses ethos, pathos, and logos. Her credibility as a trainer makes the logic behind her views reliable, her logic reinforces the examples she uses, and she appeals to emotion using her relationship with her Airedale, Drummer, to support everything her argument is saying. Through these strategies, Vicki Hearne effectively counters the current, popular views of the

Certain measures, pertaining to the act of discriminating others that are not deemed worthy. Being out of the ordinary in any shape or form isn’t what is considered the norm and many face the abrasive treatment because of this.

    Perceptions are often incorrect when one is unwilling to believe or does not have all of the facts. These inaccurate perceptions can lead to false accusations, which in turn can cause an immense amount of suffering. In the case of Tom Robinson, other’s perception of him and people of his race led to a false accusation against him.
