Persuasive Animals/Peeta
PERSUASIVE SPEECH
What if you were doing something you loved and a group of people came to make you stop? By making false accusations and telling lies, they not only convince themselves what you’re doing is wrong but they convince people around you that don’t know anything about it as well. When it turns out that what you were actually doing was providing for you and others, keeping animals safe in a contained area of life and carrying on a proud business. This is why animal care organizations are wrong when they claim exhibitors mistreat the livestock they raise to show and sell in fairs. If I were to ask what is the difference between a retail business and a livestock business most people would expect the list to be extremely long. Really though the only difference is that your animals eat breathe and poop while your clothes don’t. In livestock there are constant remarks from animal preservation organizations about how all we do is raise livestock inhumanely to make money. In reality though, facts combined with action of the livestock producers shows how much our money, time and dedication it takes to make it in the livestock business. “It’s a lot of hard work but I do, enjoy it,” is the response fair exhibitor Brent Ebert of Mineral county told News Tribune when asked what it’s like to raise your own livestock for shows. We compare raising and showing livestock to a business because that’s what it is. Producers invest a fair amount of money to buy the product, put more money to the fill and expand the product, advertise the product to other companies around fair time, then they locate fairs to exhibit the product and at the end of the day it all comes down to that finale sale. If they sell, they make profit and if not they have to go through the process all over again or even lose money. Secondly, if we aren’t buying and raising the livestock where would they be? Is keeping an animal in a closed environment with plenty (if not more) food and water
