Written by Plato‚ a close disciple of Socrates‚ this text is set along the Illissus river where Phaedrus and Socrates meet for a day of speech‚ debate‚ rhetoric and okay…flirting. Phaedrus leads of the day and recites

    Many rhetorical devices are used in the article‚ “Factory Farming Ignores the Suffering of Animals.” This article contained many innuendos‚ euphemism‚ dysphemism‚ hyperboles‚ horse laugh‚ downplayers‚ and weaselers. A type of innuendo that is used in this article is that Oliver Broudy asks a good amount of loaded questions to Peter Singer about animal rights. For example‚ Broudy (2009) asks‚ “And finally‚ it turns out that a wood chipper is not the best way to dispose of 10‚000 spent hens” (p. 1)
