My Profession and My Passion to Take Care of  Animals
Being in communication has always been my passion. Thus, for this topic, I combine my profession with my passion which is to take care of animals. Animals should be treated with respect and entitled to basic rights similar to human beings. Various organizations advocate for animal rights and adoption. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ( PETA) is a nonprofit organization that exposes animal cruelty in the laboratory, the food industry, entertainment, and clothing. PETA achieves its mission by educating the public and investigating animal rescue, legislation, and protein campaigns( Peta,2016).

However, many people might defend animal cruelty, especially in the fashion industry, citing that they are just animals and by using their products, they are balancing the ecosystem. Thus, emotional appeal works best to make people understand that animals deserve respect just like humans.
Second, another informal fallacy used by advocates to achieve their goals is the slippery slope. This occurs when an advocate claims that a series of events might result in one major negative event. For instance, in the case of PETA, an advocate might argue that allowing animals to be used for experiments and the clothing industry might result in having legislation that...
