1. In 1994, their tactics exploited human bodies by introducing ads wherein the super models posed naked to protest against the fur industry. Further to worsen the controversy, they held campaigns were volunteers in Times Square laid down nearly naked in giant plastic wrapped meat trays with fake blood. This was completely unethical and a disrespect to human bodies, particularly woman. People began to question the ethnicity of PETA after they launched these activities that are believed to be immoral; exploitive that reduces the respect, regards and good will for both the organization and its objectives. Human life is more precious than animal life. PETA clearly doesn’t think so, and is willing to objectify women and support the porn industry, …show more content…
A business partnership with fast food outlets like McDonald’s are self-contradictory on PETA and gradually, would lose the trust of people worldwide. PETA needs to be transparent in their business collaboration with these fast food outlets so that their image is maintained within the society.
5. Some of the marketing strategies that they enforce have been the same since decades and hence their marketing campaigns have started to fade out in interests. It is imperative that the message they are trying to convey remains effective with changing marketing strategies. It would be ideal to involve the common people to the campaign than stick to celebrities alone. Instead of having messages that say “Don’t”, they should likely replace them with “Think and do” to softer their approach towards the audience they are targeting.
6. They need to further come up with a strategy of targeting area wise issues like stop cruelty to dogs in China, working with the government and bringing out ethical policies and laws for treatment of animals in India. Since PETA is a world renowned organization for animal cause, they have to ensure that animals in every region are treated fairly and can bring about a major change implementing their ethics of
provides several examples of logos, the appeal to logic. Using facts and statistics, such as the decline in FDA inspections from 50,000 in 1974 to only 9.164 in 2006, and how the market is heavily dominated by the top four beef packing companies controlling over 80% of the market today, where the top five companies only controlled approximately 25% of the market in the 1970’s, the documentary provides reliable data to strengthen its logical appeal. Food Inc. is a persuasive documentary that undoubtedly illustrates the corruption within the food industry that has been deliberately hidden from the American consumer. While this documentary does an excellent job of persuading their views and opinions using rhetorical structure with strong representations of ethos, pathos, and logos, it offers few ways to logically overcome the challenges imposed by the food industry. Consumers are urged to purchase locally grown meat and produce though this alone is not an end all to the corruption within the food

Abuse and violence never solves anything. Animal abuse is a very serious problem in today's world. The ASPCA is an organization that is against animal abuse, its acronym stands for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The organization is very known for their long, sad, and emotional commercial. Throughout the commercial, it contains the three rhetorical appeals: ethos, logos, and pathos.
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
The American Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals “We are their voice” this is the motto of The American society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (ASPCA) because they believe in standing up and fighting for the ones who can not stand up and fight for themselves. ASPCA was North America 's first established humane society and today is one of the world’s biggest. This interest group tries to influence the political process by asking for donations accompanied by a picture of a physically abused animal, on almost every page on their website to help raise money to help their cause and work against bills such as Ag-Gag legislation. Over the past couple years there has been the introduction of the Ag-Gag legislation. The farming
The author of “Fast Food Nation”, Eric Schlosser, informed Food Inc. by mentioning, “In the 1970s, the top five beef-packers controlled only about 25% of the market. Today, the top four control more than 80% of the market.” (Kenner, Food Inc.) Schlosser statistics provides a reliable data which strengthen logos in a certain

Everyone who owns a television has seen the “Somewhere in America” commercial at least once, which was published by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This commercial is full of emotions and most people, “Always change the channel because they can’t take it anymore,” (McLachlan). The most depressing parts of this commercial is the pictures because the dogs and cats are all beaten up and suffering from being abused and neglected by their owners. As a matter of fact, they are trying to make the audience feel sympathetic so they can join the ASPCA. The ASPCA tries to encourage audience monetary donation by using ethos by their tone, logos and pathos from the pictures and the statistics.
Advertising has been around for decades and has been the center point for buyers by different subjects peaking different audience’s interests. Advertisers make attempts to strengthen the implied and unequivocal messages in trying to manipulate consumers’ decisions. Jib Fowles wrote an article called “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals,” explaining where he got his ideas about the appeals, from studying interviews by Henry A. Murray. Fowles gives details and examples on how each appeal is used and how advertisements can “form people’s deep-lying desires, and picturing states of being that individuals privately yearn for” (552). The minds of human beings can be influenced by many basic needs for example, the need for sex, affiliation, nurture,
Furthermore, in the most simplistic way, Pets.com needed to lower the amount of money spend on marketing communications. looking at it in more detail, the company did manage to share an intended message to the audience through their famous super bowl commercial, but what they failed to realise what that “sticking out” compared to your competitors is not effective if there is no call to action. This once again reflects upon their lack of research as Pets.com’s focused more on creating a product and promoting it rather than analyzing the main components such as customers, market and competitors. Through a managerial perspective, I would recommend lowering the budget for marketing communications and using it towards magazines and posters at animal clinics. Using this method, they directly reach pet owners specifically rather than anyone who could be watching the tv commercial at the time.

In simpler words, where should products be place or how should they be marketed to sweep in the most customers and cash. Spurlock talks about the impact that the media has on us through brand marketing, without us even knowing we are being brain washed to believe a certain brand
Alejandra Jimenez Ms. Sickler English 10 January 26, 2018 Animal Cruelty Animal Cruelty, also known as animal abuse, is the deliberate act of violence towards animals. It has been reported that animal abuse can lead to domestic abuse. Animal cruelty is linked to an increase in both violence and crime. Animals used for entertainment and gaming purposes are forced to partake in events and actions.
A picture of this flier was then spread through social media and was eventually posted onto the Facebook pages of several animal welfare groups, most notably, on the Singapore Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ (SPCA) Facebook page. The post was then met with angry comments from the public stating that the artists “deserve to die” and “should be imprisoned” due to the content of the flier. The comments also stated that the flier was “not art”, despite their lack of knowledge on the actual context of the flier, and several other fliers displayed within the performance artwork. This is an irrational argument as the artwork was not “promoting” animal abuse, but also included many other satirical and questionable messages other than to “kill stray cats”.
Animal Rights Some people assume that just because animals cannot speak that they cannot feel pain. It is not okay to torture living beings that have their own thoughts and breathe the exact same air us humans breathe. It is unjust and selfish to stand by and take no action while everyday hundreds if not thousands of innocent animals die without reason. No matter how much fur or how many limbs the creature has; it should be treated as equal as a person. A heart beat is a heartbeat regardless of the body it’s in.
