Animal Cruelty
This advertisement depicts animals who have been mistreated
by their past owners and gives viewers the opportunity to donate money and help
these animals who are in need. This particular ad engages with human cruelty to
animals because it does not support the cruelty that is going on in some
households. It is designed to make the viewer feel emotional and then make them
want to donate and help out. I feel that this is the opposite of the novel, Black Beauty by Anna Sewell that we read
in class. In this novel animal cruelty is shown through how the horse “Black
Beauty” is treated and cared for throughout the novel. The process of “breaking
in” a horse is where we see the first sign of cruelty towards horses. Breaking
a horse in prohibits them from jumping and laying down. They have to fully submit
to their owners control and have no free will. The horse in sold from person to
person without any background checks or interviews being done to see if these
homes would be safe for him to live in. Although I feel that Sewell does not
fully support the cruel treatment of the horses, she is also not doing much to
discuss how bad it is to treat them this way and how it can be stopped. The
advertisement I provide below is showing examples of animals that have been
treated cruelly and then it provides an opportunity for us to reach out and
help them.
